Bug 83201

Strings from the 'driver options' tab come from foomatic.  Unfortunately, there
has been no upstream effort to get them translated.

The mechanism is there, but you have to edit XML files. :-/

Tim, we have tools to convert to/from po/xml which might help here.  

Hi Tim,

Okay for me to create the PO files from your XML and send them to
translation?

Of course.

Bernd will be writing a xml to po converter for foomatic

Use intltool

Any update on this bug? I had a look at the recent
system-config-printer in the ko_KR locale. And "Double sized printing"
label etc are still untranslated.

Any thoughts?

Could someone explain to me how intltool can help?  All of the
translatable text is inside <en> tags, if that's useful.

Tim,

You can also try xml2pot tool (/usr/bin/xml2pot), available in
kdesdk-3.1.3-1.1 rpm

Talked to Tagoh-san last night, we don't think following xml file
instruction part in /usr/share/doc/intltool-0.30/README will help too
much, basically because foomatic is using their only format
<lang></lang> in different xmls in /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/*

When I looked into intltool-extract, intltool-merge and
intltool-update perl scripts, what it does to the .desktop file are
very simliar. One of the idea is to modify intltool's .desktop part to
accommodate foomatic's format.

Another idea is to modify foomatic directly to use gettext.
