[bug #58643] ITS - Double escapes when merging translations back to XML

[Samy Mahmoudi]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #58643 (project gettext):

Just to make myself clear: are the following workflows reasonable and/or
supposed to be achievable in the current gettext version?


Ideal workflow: 

• original XML:             <short>&amp;</short>

• generated *.po:           msgid "&"

• *.po after translations:  msgid "&"
                            msgstr "&"

• merged XML:               <short>&amp;</short>
                            <short xml:lang="aa">&amp;</short>
                            <short xml:lang="bb">&amp;</short>
                            <short xml:lang="cc">&amp;</short>


Not-ideal-but-acceptable workflow:

• original XML:             <short>&amp;</short>

• generated *.po:           msgid "&amp;"

• *.po after translations:  msgid "&amp;"
                            msgstr "&amp;"

• merged XML:               <short>&amp;</short>
                            <short xml:lang="aa">&amp;</short>
                            <short xml:lang="bb">&amp;</short>
                            <short xml:lang="cc">&amp;</short>


As for the achievability, I don't get to achieve any of these. Can you?
