Re: Check whether a .po file is OK

I use this alias :

alias oinc='msgfmt --statistics -o /dev/null -c -v'

(-o /dev/null to avoid the creation of a messages.mo file)

$ oinc pt.po 

:))

Hi everyone

I wonder how I can check whether a .po file is OK or whether it has
error.

Currently I
- first try to compile it with gtranslator
- then try to compile it from the command line with "msgfmt" (as I saw
that sometimes gtranslator compiles successfully and does not warn over
eventual errors)

Is that enough, or do I have to make other checks? And which ones?

Thanks in advance for your replies
