# Custom files for git.friendi.ca
These files are the cutsom files for git.friendi.ca.
They are overriding the default template files of gitea.
The content of `custom` needs to be placed in `/var/lib/gitea` (at least at git.friendi.ca).
## Translation
Translation of the strings can be done at [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/Friendica/friendica/) with the rest of the project resources.
## Workflow
1. Update the strings at the top of the `generate_home_tmpl.py` file, those that start with a `str_` in the name.
2. Extract them with `pygettext -p ./lang/C/ generate_home_tmpl.py`
3. Commit the new `messages.pot` file and push it to the repository at git.friendi.ca
4. Wait for Transifex to pick up the changes and the translation teams to make the new translations
5. Download the finished translations to `lang/$lngcode/LC_MESSAGES/messages.pot`
6. Edit the `messages.pot` file and set the characterset to UTF-8.
`"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"`
7. Convert the `messages.pot` file to `messages.mo` using `msgfmt messages.pot`
8. Run `python3 generate_home_tmpl.py` it will recreate the `custom/templates/home.tmpl` file
9. Upload that file and copy it to the `custom/templates/` directory of the gitea instance.
