Re: [poedit-users] Three language translation panes.

Hojin,

I have a similar situation with Quechua translators. We need to work 
with 3 languages at once: English->Spanish->Quechua. Because most 
Quechua translators can't read English, I had to write a PHP script 
that searches through the Spanish PO files and copies the Spanish 
phrases into the Quechua PO files as comments.  That way Quechua 
translators, can look in the comments field and find the Spanish 
translation.

The script also has the option to paste translations into the msgstr 
field when it is empty, because many phrases can't be translated into 
Quechua and are better in Spanish.

My script should work with any language, so you should be able to use 
it as well.  To use it, you need to have PHP5 installed to work on the 
command line.  Would you like me to email the script to you?

All the error messages are in Spanish right now, but I can translate 
the help file into English if you want to use it.

take care,
Amos Batto
