Re: How to resolve gettext error "can't guess language"?
Hi
(I think most of the people subscribed to debian-l10n-devel is also
subscribed to debian-i18n, but I'm adding them, just in case).

The code producing this error is the dl10n-check script:
https://salsa.debian.org/l10n-team/dl10n/-/blob/master/dl10n-check
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the problem is that the function
process_po_file
https://salsa.debian.org/l10n-team/dl10n/-/blob/master/dl10n-check#L654
tries to guess the language from the name of the file instead of the
folder structure or the Language tag written in the content of the file.
I don't know if the cura.po files should be renamed to cura.xx_yy.po or
it's better to change the script to add some logic to try to guess the
language from the Language tag inside the file. This second option I'm
afraid is beyond my Perl skills.
