Saluton!

The output of ‘guix help’ is partly untranslated:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR.utf8 guix help | head -20
Utilisation : guix OPTION | COMMANDE ARGS...
Lance la COMMANDE avec les arguments ARGS, le cas échéant.

  -h, --help             afficher de nouveau ce texte d'aide et quitter
  -V, --version          afficher les informations sur la version les droits d'auteur et quitter

COMMANDE doit être une des sous-commandes listées ci-dessous :

  commandes principales

    describe      describe the channel revisions currently used
    gc            invoke the garbage collector

    install       install packages
    package       manage packages and profiles
    pull          pull the latest revision of Guix
    remove        remove installed packages

    show          show information about packages
    system        build and deploy full operating systems
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The synopses that appear in ‘define-command’ forms are left
untranslated.  They are in ‘guix.pot’ but are missing from PO files.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Saluton!

The pot generation process for translations at weblate is separate from
the one for Guix. The pot in Guix is outdated and not updated
automatically.

It seems that the rules for generating the pot changed in Guix, but I
don't use them for generating the pot files in the translation repo.
That is because I don't want to run configure, make and risk something
breaking because of an ABI change, just for translations. I updated the
generation process and ran an update. The pot file in the translation
repo now has the missing strings and they should appear at weblate in a
few hours if all goes well :)

Oh.  So if we add a new ‘--keyword’ option (say) to ‘XGETTEXT_OPTIONS’,
it won’t be picked up automatically, right?

How can we improve sharing between these two processes?

Perfect!  Let us know when we can close this bug.

Thank you,
