If the English file contains <title>A headline</title> you extract in the PO file only "A headline". How is this case different?

All the closing tags "alone" should then disappear. Ah, you're right. The position can be different and requires that's why that the translator sees the starting "<footnote>" tag. > This should ideally be fixed anyway, but only appear once in a PO file, so > I've always been lazy about it. Yep, I agree.

Ooops, I used PO files often but missed it up to now :-) It looked slightly familiar to me but I expected a relation to debconf code (where I have seen it rarely). > In that case, they probably come from the gettextization, when > po4a-gettextize find the same English string translated differently in the > existing translation. Probably. The translated files where not always fully translated but contained also English messages so some English strings occurred in msgstr as well. This need clearly a manual solution as some short strings (names) always are equal in English and translations. > If possible, I should replace "choice" by the line reference in the > existing translation If you create these strings you could maybe make it a little bit more verbose, such as: "msgstr conflict (see <URL> for details)"?
