Package: po4a Version: 0.67-2 Severity: wishlist Since recently po4a-gettextize adds spaces at the end of strings during gettextisation, if strings occure multiple times in the master file (or translation).
In production, multiple indentical strings in the original file are
only stored once in the po file (as they are translated the same).
Therefore, translators need to review those strings carefully and
remove those entries from the po file, which have this final space
added. In this process they need to choose the most appropriate
translation to keep.
Currently, this can be quite difficult, as the string can occur
multiple times and the trailing space(s) are difficult to spot in
large files. Also these trailing spaces are hard to get a good regular
expression for searching.
Therefor I kindly ask you if you could mark those strings in addition
(!) with a suitable translator comment (e.g. "Potential duplicate
string, review and consolidate"). This would users allow to use msggrep(1)
with the option -C to filter them out for review.
Thanks for considering.
