I just updated to the lates CVS and find I can't create new messages.po according to the translation process at
http//gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=G2%20-%20Dev%20-%20LOCALIZATION

For example, go to themes/slider/po and enter 'gmake message.po' and I get
usage dirname path
/bin/sh line 1 messages.po No such file or directory
gnumake *** [messages.po] Error 1

and then I find out strings.raw is corrupted in the process.

Is this a known bug?

Never mind. I think I broke something in my CVS. Reload the whole thing fixed it.

BTW. In the step 5. MAINTAINING A LOCALIZATION, it doesn't rescan for the messages if messages.po is already there. I need to manually delete the file to get a updated one.

OK. I just downloaded the new beta 4 to my local OS X machine. When I try to update my localization by typing 'gnumake zh_TW.po' in one of the po directories, I get this message:

msgmerge: unrecognized option `--update'
Try `msgmerge --help' for more information.
gnumake: [zh_TW.po] Error 1 (ignored)

Any idea?

Is this the wrong version to use? I've been using it with beta 3.

BTW. I can do 'gnumake install'. Just can't update my po files.
