Hi all, msgcat from GNU Gettext package complains of the existence of '\a' and '\r' in the message catalogs (a.k.a PO files) as part of the source messages.
Running msgcat against the Brazilian Portuguese message catalog downloaded from TranslationProject.org: ---- $ msgcat bash-5.3-rc2.pt_BR.po > /dev/null bash-5.3-rc2.pt_BR.po:1040: warning: internationalized messages should not contain the '\a' escape sequence ... bash-5.3-rc2.pt_BR.po:1383: warning: internationalized messages should not contain the '\r' escape sequence ... ---- The above lines are shown 3 times each, but I stripped the duplicates. These are about strings from eval.c line 260 and lib/malloc/malloc.c line 375, as can be seen in the source messages from the catalog messages: #: eval.c:260 msgid "\atimed out waiting for input: auto-logout\n" msgstr "" #: lib/malloc/malloc.c:375 #, c-format msgid "" "\r\n" "malloc: %s:%d: assertion botched\r\n" msgstr ""
