[Tuxpaint-devel] Fwd: Re: Some strings not translating

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Shin-Ichi sent this to me, since he's having difficulty posting to the
lists again. :^(

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 which has gettext 0.17.  Could there be an issue with
this with regards to generating MO files?

I've tested with the command-line 'gettext' command and seem to be getting
the same results...

  $ LANGUAGE=zh_TW gettext -d tuxpaint Black\!

returns some binary-looking stuff that's probably the UTF-8 for the
Traditional Chinese translation of "Black!"

However,

  $ LANGUAGE=zh_TW gettext -d tuxpaint "Yes, I'm done"\!

returns:

  Yes, I'm done!


Is there any way I can debug this further?  :^/

Hi!

I remember that I met the very similar problem a long time ago...

In that case, ONLY the the string "If you quit, you'll lose your picture! Save 
it?" wasn't translated to Japanese, ONLY ON Fedora Core 1.

The strange thing was, package which compiled on Fedora Core 2 had no problem 
even on Fedora Core 1. I thought that there might be some cases when gettext 
doesn't make correct .mo files from .po files.

Just for your information.
