Re: [Po4a-devel] Translatable attributes in HTML

Even if, with includessi, the file is included multiple times, the POT file will contain only one copy of the common strings. So the work of translating the included files will be done only once. I agree that there is no problem when including one external file multiple times in an article. (We don't have such case, I think.). The problem is when there are hundreth of articles that all include a few common external files. (Which is more like our case.) We would like to translate the few common external files separately from the articles they are included in.

A quick test shows that changing just `tag_trans_close' does the job.

(It is hard to test this in the current CVS HEAD, because for some reason po4a always resolves SSI #include directives. So, I did it in a slightly older version of CVS HEAD, which still does not support `includessi'.)

BTW, in that case should the SSI element be translatable? Maybe <!--#include virtual="file.html" --> Should be translated to <!--#include virtual="file.$lang.html" --> We're doing this with a simple sed script, there is no need to bother the translators (or po4a) with this.
