I have translations in xxx.sk.po file.

Many texts missing in this file.

How to enforce rebuild this file?

Texts missing in xxx.po file too.

Doesn't recompilation of the application update the po file and the
translated files?

There is a updatepofiles project in ($lazars)/tools
Build that first.
Then use a script like this:

Code: [Select]@echo off


REM This script
REM - converts all compiled .rst files to .po files,
REM - updates all translated xx.po files


set LazInstall=C:\lazarus\
set myrsj=C:\path\to\rsjfile  ;normally in lib\$target\$project.rsj
set mypoloc=C:\pathto\pofiles
set mypofile=%mypoloc%\myproject.po
echo.

REM Compile tools if updatepofiles is missing

if exist %LazInstall%\tools\updatepofiles.exe goto SkipTools
echo The updatepofiles tool was not found, compiling tools ...
echo.
cd %LazInstall%\tools
make updatepofiles.exe
cd %mypoloc%
if not exist %LazInstall%\tools\updatepofiles.exe echo
updatepofiles.exe does not exist
if not exist %LazInstall%\tools\updatepofiles.exe goto Exit_Error

:SkipTools

echo Updating language files ...


if exist %myrsj% echo RSJ found
if not exist %PO_RSJ% echo Error: RSJ not found "%PO_RST%"
if not exist %PO_RSJ% goto Exit_Error

echo on
%LazInstall%\tools\updatepofiles %PO_RSJ% %mypofile%


@goto Exit

:Exit_Error
echo Unable to compile updatepofiles tool

:Exit


You can find several scripts like that in Lazarus sources, adapt one
to your liking.

I haven't RST files.

I foung RSJ file but it is file created from unit with resource texts.
I have problem with texts in MainForm components (DBGrid).

It will use RSJ files (comment is wrong in batchfile, but see the
source).
I use it to update pochecker po-files whenever a resourcestring was
altered or added.

Yes, my comment was edited. But my PO file containing all resource
texts from units. It does not containing texts from DBGrid (column
titles inserted by visual form editor in Lazarus). RSJ file from
visual part of MainForm does not exists. I think it is normally.

How I can move translations from visual part of MainForm to PO file?
Any texts from DBGrid are in PO file, but others from same DBGrid not.
I do not know why.

I have new information about this problem. Translation does not work
with TColumn.Caption in DBGrid. I reported it to bugtracker:
