Hi Everyone,

I made these scripts to start translating the pd helfiles and docfiles.
Maybe some of you are interested?

One way of using this is:

1. Generate the ".po" template ($ ./template doc/5.reference "name
lastname" email Language Lang-id)
2. Upload it directly to https://translate.google.com/toolkit
3. Generate an automatic machine translation to the target language of your
choosing
4. Download and integrate the translation back to pd. ($ ./translate
doc/5.reference)

There are other free translating software out there. I suggested google
because it allows multiple users to share a workbench, and the machine
translation is pretty decent in most cases, but it needs revising. I got as
far as spanglish...

The code is mostly on bash shell (using sed, grep...) , so i guess it also
works in linux, and probably on windows with cygwin or mingw. Any
help/improvement/comment is more than appreciated!!

Cheers,

PS: I couldn't find anything in the list about non-gui translation, only
external manuals and stuff. Any pointers here will also help!
