I am not sure, although I shall try to investigate.  Perhaps you can
tell me now xgettext detects a c-format.  If it is the occurrence of
the printf family of functions as a keyword, then this would explain
it.  In my application I register cAsMsg as a keyword for xgettext and
don't use printf directly.  cAsMsg is a message constructor which uses
printf style arguments.

No, thank you!

PS: Can someone in this forum cite a reference for a good way to use
gettext or a gettext equivalent in C++?  The lack of a debate of the
poor state of I18N with iostream makes me wonder if I am missing
something.
