Platypus Hints: Adding an Extra PO
So, you're adding a new PO? Here are the files that you will need to
change to incorporate the PO into Platypus.
- config.xmlc
- If you use config.xmlc to map URL suffixes, you'll need to add the PO
to config.xmlc.
- dev.conf
- Add the PO to the CORE.PO section
- Makefile
- Add the PO to the PO_UNUSED (or appropriate) list in the directory Makefile.
- Prototype HTML
- Create the prototype HTML (or m4)
- Integrate into app
- It will need to be integrated into the app - with links
from index pages, and so forth.
- Presentation layer process
- Generate the DOM class, generate and edit the config, generate and edit
the java.

- Run Billabong with new PO.
You might also need to consider the following:

be added to?
