[Po4a-devel] [RFC] Changing po4a's type comments
Hello,
As a result of http://bugs.debian.org/516526 , I intent to change the
"type" comments in po4a to extracted comments.
Extracted comments are maintained automatically by gettext
(info gettext "PO Files")
This means that:
# type: textblock
#: doc/po4a.7.pod:326
msgid ""
...
will be changed to:
#. type: textblock
#: doc/po4a.7.pod:326
msgid ""
...
One drawback is that after updating (po4a-updatepo), this will result in:
# type: textblock
#. type: textblock
#: doc/po4a.7.pod:326
msgid ""
...
It will be up to the translators to remove this redundant line
# type: textblock
(or not to remove it - this is not an issue for the PO file itself)
I think this is more valid since "# " introduce a translator comment. Also
this will fix the desynchronization of the type which currently occur with
po4a PO files.
Any comment?
Best Regards,
