core, jp: component handling + client handling refactoring: - SàT can now handle components - plugin have now a "modes" key in PLUGIN_INFO where they declare if they can be used with clients and or components. They default to be client only. - components are really similar to clients, but with some changes in behaviour: * component has "entry point", which is a special plugin with a componentStart method, which is called just after component is connected * trigger end with a different suffixes (e.g. profileConnected vs profileConnectedComponent), so a plugin which manage both clients and components can have different workflow * for clients, only triggers of plugins handling client mode are launched * for components, only triggers of plugins needed in dependencies are launched. They all must handle component mode. * component have a sendHistory attribute (False by default) which can be set to True to allow saving sent messages into history * for convenience, "client" is still used in method even if it can now be a component * a new "component" boolean attribute tells if we have a component or a client * components have to add themselve Message protocol * roster and presence protocols are not added for components * component default port is 5347 (which is Prosody's default port) - asyncCreateProfile has been renamed for profileCreate, both to follow new naming convention and to prepare the transition to fully asynchronous bridge - createProfile has a new "component" attribute. When used to create a component, it must be set to a component entry point - jp: added --component argument to profile/create - disconnect bridge method is now asynchronous, this way frontends can know when disconnection is finished - new PI_* constants for PLUGIN_INFO values (not used everywhere yet) - client/component connection workflow has been moved to their classes instead of being a host methods - host.messageSend is now client.sendMessage, and former client.sendMessage is now client.sendMessageData. - identities are now handled in client.identities list, so it can be updated dynamically by plugins (in the future, frontends should be able to update them too through bridge) - profileConnecting* profileConnected* profileDisconnected* and getHandler now all use client instead of profile

First of all, thank you for helping translating SàT :)

NOTE: *.po files are in i18n directory

To translate a file, you can use a dedicated tool as the excellent gtranslator:

- use the template .po file (e.g. sat.po) and name it to your translated language (e.g. fr.po for french); you can preferably generate a new template directly from the source with the following command (eventually adapted, the following command use zsh's globbing syntax), launched from root sat dir after having emptied the build directory:
> xgettext -L python -d sat --keyword=D_ -p i18n  **/*(.py|.tac|primitivus)(.) **/jp(.)

- then to start a new translation, copy i18n/sat.po to your language file, e.g. cd i18n; cp sat.po fr.po

- use the choosed tool (a simple text editor can be sufficient) to edit the file: e.g. gtranslator fr.po

- once you translation is finished (or partly finished: the english sentences are used if there is no translation), you can test them by generating a binary and moving it to the right place with the following commands:
> msgfmt -o sat.mo fr.po
> mv sat.mo i18n/fr/LC_MESSAGES/sat.mo

- if you have already a translation, and want to update it (new translations to do, some sentences have changed), you can use the following commands:
> msgmerge fr.po sat.po > fr2.po
and if everything is allright
> mv fr2.po fr.po

Don't forget that you can (and should !) use the version-control system (mercurial, the "hg" command) to keep history of you translations.

You can check the fr.po file to see how it's done and to know what to put while you set up you translation tool.

Thank you again for you help, don't forget to give me your name and contact email so I can credit you, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need help (goffi@goffi.org, or the sat XMPP room at sat@chat.jabberfr.org).
