Package: ruby-gettext
Version: 2.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Hello, thanks for maintaining ruby-gettext in Debian!
I noticed a bug in rgettext.
I prepared a small test case to reproduce it.
Let's consider the following short Ruby program:
$ cat myapplication.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

require 'gettext'
include GetText
GetText::bindtextdomain("myapplication")
count = 0
print _("Hello everybody!\n")
count += 1
print _("You are running an internationalized Ruby program.\n")
count += 1
# TRANSLATORS: %d is the number of already printed messages
print _("You have already seen %d translatable messages.\n") % count
print _("Is this message # 3 or # 4 ?\n")
print _("OK, I am tired...\n")
print _("Goodbye!\n")
Suppose we want to generate the corresponding .pot file.
We can use xgettext (from the gettext package):
$ xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS --no-wrap \
--copyright-holder="Francesco Poli" \
--package-name=myapplication --package-version=0.1 \
--msgid-bugs-address="addr...@example.com" \
--language=python \
myapplication.rb -o myapplication_XGETTEXT.pot
$ cat myapplication_XGETTEXT.pot

msgid "Hello everybody!\n"
msgstr ""
#: myapplication.rb:27
msgid "You are running an internationalized Ruby program.\n"
msgstr ""
#. TRANSLATORS: %d is the number of already printed messages
#: myapplication.rb:31
#, python-format
msgid "You have already seen %d translatable messages.\n"
msgstr ""
#: myapplication.rb:33
msgid "Is this message # 3 or # 4 ?\n"
msgstr ""
#: myapplication.rb:35
msgid "OK, I am tired...\n"
msgstr ""
#: myapplication.rb:37
msgid "Goodbye!\n"
msgstr ""
Everything seems to be OK.
But the language is actually Ruby, not Python.
Hence, rgettext should be the tool of choice.
Let's try with rgettext, then:
$ rgettext myapplication.rb -o myapplication_RGETTEXT.pot
$ cat myapplication_RGETTEXT.pot

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"
#: myapplication.rb:24
msgid "Hello everybody!\n"
msgstr ""
#: myapplication.rb:27
msgid "You are running an internationalized Ruby program.\n"
msgstr ""
#. %d is the number of already printed messages
#: myapplication.rb:31
msgid "You have already seen %d translatable messages.\n"
msgstr ""
#. %d is the number of already printed messages
#: myapplication.rb:35
msgid "OK, I am tired...\n"
msgstr ""
#. %d is the number of already printed messages
#: myapplication.rb:37
msgid "Goodbye!\n"
msgstr ""
Wait!
Where is the string from line 33 ?!?
It seems that it was wrongly skipped, since it contains hash
symbols (#)...
I think that this should not happen.
Please fix this bug and/or forward this bug report upstream.
Thanks for your time!
