I'm sorry if I was unclear in my earlier message. At Yorba, we take
care of POT file generation as part of our internationalization
workflow. Our workflow is different (and somewhat more complicated)
than that used in traditional GNOME projects for two reasons. First,
we develop in Vala and not C or C++, and the gettext suite and Vala
don't always play well together. Second, since we don't use the GNU
autotools as our build system, we don't have GNOME intltool available
to coordinate the invocation of the gettext command-line tools. As a
result, we've had to hand-roll our own internationalization workflow
and scripts that support it. So far, it's all working out well. What's
more, as I noted in my earlier message, we've designed our workflow to
be easy to hook into for outside contributors like you: all that you
have to do is enclose your translatable strings in gettext markup. The
workflow and build system that we use here on the backend take care of
the rest.
