[TYPO3-dev] Converting ll-xml files to xliff

Hi Žiga,

Transliterate files by:

1) Copying typo3conf/l10n/sl/*/*/sl.*.xml to typo3conf/l10n/si/*/*/si.*.xml
2) Edit files and replace <languageKey index="sl" by <languageKey index="si"

That's all.

This should do the trick:

------------------------------
$ cd /path/to/typo3conf/l10n/sl
$ for f in $(find . -type f -name \*.xml); do \
	NEW_FILE=$(echo $f | sed 's/\/sl/\/si/')
	mkdir -p ../si/$(dirname $f)
	cp $f ../si/$NEW_FILE
	sed -i "" 's/<languageKey index="sl"/<languageKey index="si"/'
../si/$NEW_FILE
done
------------------------------
