Indeed,... and a run of i18nspector over po files in the archive shows lots of problems. i18nspector tests much more than msgfmt -- it simply catches lots of problems that msgfmt misses. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to show what the two tools say about a couple of random .po files I have here from another project: $ msgfmt -c reports.po reports.po:7: header field `Project-Id-Version' still has the initial default value $ i18nspector reports.po W: reports.po: boilerplate-in-project-id-version 'PACKAGE VERSION' W: reports.po: invalid-last-translator 'Automatic <>' W: reports.po: boilerplate-in-language-team 'LANGUAGE <l...@li.org>' W: reports.po: unusual-character-in-translation U+009F control character APC: 'Ã\x9f' (where reports.po was UTF-8 encoded but the header claimed it to be ISO-8859-1) cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint BE65 FD1E F4EA 08F3 23D4 3C6D 9FE8 B8CD 71C5 D1A8 GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
