Package: po-debconf Version: 1.0 Severity: normal Denis,
I was trying to use the method you describe in po-debconf(7) to split out a _Choices list without fuzzying the translations. I did this with netcfg from D-I. The original file is netcfg-common.templates: Template: netcfg/wireless_adhoc_managed Type: select Default: Infrastructure (Managed) network # Note to translators : Please keep your translations of each choice # below the 65 columns limit (which means 65 characters for most languages) # Choices MUST be separated by commas # You MUST use standard commas not special commas for your language # You MUST NOT use commas inside choices _Choices: Infrastructure (Managed) network, Ad-hoc network (Peer to peer) _Description: Wireless network kind: Wireless networks are either managed or ad-hoc. If you use a real access point of some sort, your network is Managed. If another computer is your 'access point', then your network may be Ad-hoc. >From that, I created a file named "debian/foo": Template: netcfg/wireless_adhoc_managed Type: select _Choices: Infrastructure (Managed) network, Ad-hoc network (Peer to peer) Then, I ran "debconf-gettextize --merge --choices debian/foo" Two new strings were added to all PO files, but they had this: #: Choices msgid "Infrastructure(Managed)network" .../... Of course, running debconf-updatepo later then marks these two strings as fuzzy bu fuzzy matching. I suspect that some bad handling of spaces is occurring in debconf-gettextize... -- System©seau en mode Infrastructure" Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Versions of packages po-debconf depends on: ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.34.2+20060415 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii perl 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages po-debconf recommends: ii libcompress-zlib-perl 1.41-1 Perl module for creation and manip ii libmail-sendmail-perl 0.79-4 Send email from a perl script -- no debconf information
