New submission from jhg <j...@upb.de>: Wanting to figure out how to support multiple languages in my applications I read the gettext documentation and got to the part saying one should use pygettext.py to create .po files.
After copying that program from the python SVN repository I later found out that it cannot cope with plurals, i.e. ngettext(). xgettext can do that just fine. Since pygettext.py was not modified in 5 years I propose changing the documentation of gettext to encourage xgettext rather than pygettext.py. My proposed changes are attached (edited as text file; I do not know how to convert it to a webpage and hence did not test that). I used the 2.7b1 documentation, but the patch appears to apply just as well to the 3.1.2 documentation. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation files: gettext.txt.patch keywords: patch messages: 103988 nosy: georg.brandl, jhg severity: normal status: open title: proposal: encourage xgettext rather than pygettext.py in gettext docs versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17048/gettext.txt.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8502> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
