Way way way back - on the 9th of October, I accidentally sent this to Clytie instead of the list... As it contains some questions for Bruno, I'm reposting it...
It was a fruitful thread, although that's a weird metaphor...
On the 5th of October, Clytie quoted Bruno saying :"Previous msgids" will be a new feature in gettext 0.15.1. Quoting theNEWS file:Thanks, Bruno! Now I just need to talk my friendly translation editor developer into wdiffing the strings and highlighting the differences. ;)Sorry about the delay in replying - the (Nationwide) ISP I use (sort of) wentbankrupt(!) so I was without full access for a while! And it's still not great! ( And then the midterms hit :-)
We all have trouble with time: somebody should vote us all a Catch-Up Day. ;)
Clytie: So I added support for previous msgid's to the beta track of LocFactory Editor 2 ( And by extension Mac PO Editor 1 ). And, just for Clytie, it highlights the added andremoved words ( though without using wdiff itself ). Any volunteers forbeta testing?
Me! Me! :D This is going to make dpkg's help screens SO much easier to update.
Bruno : Just a quick question for Bruno - due to the problems that I mentioned, I haven't been able to look at gettext 0.15.1, so I haven't seen a full description of the feature - so what do multiline and plural previous msgid id's look like? Do they look like normal msgid's but with the #| start or do they have a prefix on every line?
It's gettext-0.16 now: lots of new and exciting developments!from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do)
