Hi Pau, Your xgettext call is not correct. -f is not intended to define files to extract strings from, but a file which might contain a list of paths to consider for extraction. Please read 'man xgettext' again. But you are also right: there is no pure xgettext javascript parser. Even if most of the time the default C parser will do it fine (or the Perl one in certain cases), this is an issue where I think we need someone to step up and write a dedicated parser.
