Re: [ESD-translators] [gnu.org #1198491] Chinese translation for ESD

[Tom]

(Sorry for my late reply.)

I edited HTML files first, then I found it take time to edit 3 HTML
files at same time. So I decided to edit PO files.

I haven't finished my translation yet, but I want to try with that if
it's work.

I have a problem about Makefile.gen, I don't fully understand that
script. So I tried to edit language code.


```
# list of languages that use the PO files (add yours if you migrate to PO)
# czech - cs, persian - fa
# in the LANG add the code(s) of the language(s) you intend to translate
LANG=zh-hans
```

Because Chinese is written from left to right, so I modified as Czech
example.


```
zh-hans/%.html: esd-zh-hans.po $(foreach f,$(SRC),en/$f)
        -po4a-translate $(PO4A_FLAGS) -m en/$*.html -p $< -l $@
        sed -i 's|<li><a class="current" href="/en">English -
v4.0</a></li>|<li><a href="/en">English - v4.0</a></li>|' $@
        sed -i 's|img/en/|img/zh-hans/|g' $@
```

I ran `make -f Makefile.gen` on Terminal (I ran on my Debian virtual
machine, for prevent from my mistaken operation.), it seem something
wrong with that.


```
root@debian:/home/hz/enc# make -f Makefile.gen
po4a-translate -M utf-8 -f xhtml --keep 30 -o porefs=none -o
'untranslated=<script>' -o 'attributes=<meta>content' -m
en/confirmation.html -p esd-zh-hans.po -l zh-hans/confirmation.html

And I found zh-hans/confirmation.html which was existed before have been
deleted.

I have no idea with that. How should I deal with it?
