Set Up WebTranslateIt Synchronization Tool
I use webtranslateit for managing all of the theme and plugin translation. Up till recently I have always download the files in a zip and then extracted them to the language folder.
Recently I looked for a way to improve automation and found the WebTranslateIt Synchronization Tool. It is very easy to set up.
The installation process is explained on GitHub.
Setup .mo file generation
To automate the conversion of the mo files you will need to install Cygwin. It is a simple installation process but takes some time to install.
Then create a file called potomo.sh. Then add this code:
Then go to the language folder and open the file .wti. Replace # after_pull: "touch tmp/restart.txt" with after_pull: "I: & cd I:/path/to/folder/<wbr />languages & c:/cygwin/bin/bash -c /cygdrive/i/path/to/<wbr />script/directory/potomo.<wbr />sh".
Run Script
To be able to run the whole thing Start Command Prompt with Ruby. Then move to the location of the language folder and type wti pull
I tried it out and it’s working fine, you made my day, thanks.
Great 🙂 I had ages to work this out.
Something you should add is a way to remove all the po after the mo creation, cause they aren’t needed anymore and it helps making the languages folder lighter 😉
Ok, I will see what I can find out.
Try this potomo.sh. https://gist.github.com/grappler/6954035
Your last gist works like a charm. Thanks
