ownCloud Language Patch Applier

A script to create & apply language patches for ownCloud

Usage

• Create a file named find_strings

• In each line, write a relative path and a filename of the string that needs to be patched inside double quotes and the original English string itself. Make sure that you used no punctuation at the end of the sentence!

  e.g.

  "settings", "Dummy string"
  "apps/files_external", "Here is the second string"
  

• Run script.

  • To use as console script, run php5 find.php in the root directory of ownCloud.

  • Otherwise, call the script using http://<host>/find.php

    This will search the strings written in find_strings file in specified app's l10n directory and copy the available translations into copy_strings file.

• Check for errors and the contents of copy_strings file.

• Switch to another branch which the patch should be applied to.

• Call the script again using "start" argument.

  • For console: php5 find.php start
  • For browser, first, you need to change the permissions of all l10n files inside ownCloud dir. For this, run:

  find . -maxdepth 4 -type d -name "l10n" -exec sh -c 'cd "{}"/../ && pwd && chmod -R 777 *' \;
  

  inside terminal. Append ?start argument end of the address and change the permissions back by invoking this command:

  find . -maxdepth 4 -type d -name "l10n" -exec sh -c 'cd "{}"/../ && pwd && chmod -R 775 *' \;
  

• Commit & push

Example

• Clone the repository
• Run php5 find.php
• Change into stable branch: git checkout stable
• Apply the created patch php5 find.php start
• Check the difference git diff

Alternatively, browser can be used to call the script. See usage section above.

To-do

• Extract the relevant strings from the given commit
