Description
Hi,
i finished the dutch translation for this module.
I did a cvs add to the po directory on cvs
But there are no other .po files in that directory, neither in the translations directory.
Dunno if i have done everything or maybe did it wrong, can you have a see?
And if i did something wrong, can you explain me what? I'm still learning cvs...
Thankyou
grtz,
tom

ok, i see what ive done.
I did add the .po file at head, not at a the right tag

betz: Yes, you did add "nl.po" to HEAD, and you did create a directory "po." I'm not sure how you were able to do that, though, as you do not have CVS access for this module.
The "po" directory didn't exist because Drupal 6.x and 7.x do not call the translations directory "po" -- it's called "translations." The "po" directory is only used for Drupal 5.x and below. The HEAD branch is currently Drupal 6.x.
Unless you feel comfortable using CVS, you should attach your work to an issue as a new file or a patch instead of trying to commit changes yourself. Creating the directory "po" in HEAD is a problem because directories cannot be removed from CVS without the help of a CVS administrator (see How do I delete a directory from CVS?).
Regardless, I appreciate your work on the new translation, and I have created a new release of the module for 5.x that includes your changes. Thanks!

Thanx for the reply.
Sorry, but i didn't create a directory po. I remember asking myself in what directory it should be be, po or translations.
Really, i didnt create it, it was there.
I know i can attach thge files as attachments to an issue, but then i will never learn it.

betz: Ah, okay. In that case, "po" was already there as a result of creating the "translations" directory for the Drupal 6.x branch. You were right to put the translation file into the "po" directory for a Drupal 5.x release. The confusion, then, was not checking out the 5.x branch of the module. (I completely understand the confusion and frustration regarding CVS. It's very, very confusing!)
For future reference, here are some tips:
-----
Checking out from the contributions repository (see the section "Checking out a specific version of a contrib module").
Checking out About This Node 5.x-1.x into the local directory "about_this_node_5":
cvs co -r DRUPAL-5 -d about_this_node_5 contributions/modules/about_this_nodeChecking out About This Node 6.x-1.x into the local directory "about_this_node_6":
cvs co -r DRUPAL-6--1 -d about_this_node_6 contributions/modules/about_this_nodeChecking out About This Node HEAD into the local directory "about_this_node_HEAD" (that is, with no specific branch specified):
cvs co -d about_this_node_HEAD contributions/modules/about_this_node-----
