A possible approach would be, to convert all po files before processing, so they don't have line breaks at ~79 characters, as it is common. Instead, they would have all msgid's/msgstr's on one line. That would solve your issue here, I think.
I have attached two files, to show the results. [[ Attention: be aware, your mail client may break the view of the files! Prefer to view it in a plain text editor and on a device, that can show very long lines! ]] That can be done with msgattrib: To convert a po file with lines at max 79 chars into 'long lines' which have the msgid's/msgstr's completely on one line: msgattrib --no-wrap -o po-file_without-line-break.po po-file-with-line-break-at-79-chars.po To convert a file with 'long lines' into a file with line breaks at 79 chars: msgattrib -o po-file-with-line-break-at-79-chars.po po-file_without-line-break.po However, since the po files in all the debian packages are in "line-break at 79 chars" mode, you would have to convert them all to the "without line-breaks" mode before this script does its work. And after the script run, you would have to convert the po files back to the "line-break at 79 chars" mode, since this is what translators are expecting. Thus, that means a significant change to this script, which is already heavily complicated as it is now... And it takes a long time to run, since it processes all po files in all debian packages!!! Think about the numbers here: bookworm had more than ~59000 packages in total! Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
