I have been banging my head against this one for quite a while now...
This is my problem:
I have an application that is translated into a few languages. When I
released version 1.1, the translators translated the complete nib files for
the application. Now I have made a few adjustments to the English version of
the nibfile. I added two controls to one of the views in the nibfile, added
a few outlets and actions and added a new class. I also changed a few
connections. Now I would like to use the strings that the localizers put
into the previous nibfile. Since I only added one new control with a string
in, it would be wasted work to go in and re-translate all controls. From
what I understand, nibtool can be used to solve this.
The nibtool tool has a manpage, but I find it rather confusing...It is a bit
too terse for me to be able to solve the above problem...
If I have the following files:
oldEnglish.nib English translation of 1.1 nib
oldFrench.nib French translation of 1.1 nib
newEnglish.nib The new nib I created, with one added
string, a few new controls, outlets etc
How do I create a newFrench.nib file where all strings except for the added
one are translated, and all outlets and connections are up-to-date with
those in newEnglish.nib?
