Hello, As I understand it, gettext() is designed to retrieve messages from 'R-pkg' domains. As such, it cannot retrieve some of the messages in the 'pkg' domains (those supposed to be accessed by C code only, I know), namely, all messages ending with space(s) or \n. This is clearly indicated in ?gettext (at least for trailing spaces):
"For 'gettext', leading and trailing whitespace is ignored when looking for the translation." So, my questions: 1) Do I really need to write C code to retrieve all messages from 'pkg' domain? 2) Wouldn't it be useful to add an argument to gettext() (like trim = TRUE), or alternatively, to propose a Gettext() function in utils packages that allows retrieving those messages with trailing space(s) or \n in 'pkg' domain from R code?
