Blueprint files

When adding a new Blueprint file in data/res/, remember to add it to the following file lists:

• list of bluprint sources in data/res/meson.build
• list of resources in data/res/musicus.gresource.xml (.blp replaced with .ui)
• list of translatable files in po/POTFILES

Internationalization

Execute the following commands from the project root directory to update translation files whenever translatable strings have been changed.

1. Update template.pot

   xgettext \
       --from-code=UTF-8 \
       --add-comments \
       --keyword=_ \
       --keyword=C_:1c,2 \
       --files-from=po/POTFILES \
       --output=po/template.pot
   

2. Update translation files

   msgmerge \
       --update \
       --backup=off \
       --no-fuzzy-matching \
       po/de.po \
       po/template.pot
