Only ASCII char in msgid

[Černoevič Michal]

Hello,

 

I’ve got a problem with the new version of gettext. I am a czech programmer and of course when I am programming then in Czech and all texts are Czech texts. Then, when I try to use gettext and make a *.po file, the new gettext is protesting the msgid must be in ASCII code, which is impossible, because English is for me the foreign language to which I need translation. I don’t want to distribute my programs over the whole world, but we use them for example here:

All were OK but the last version of gettext. Would it be possible to change the xgettext in a such way, that the key (msgid) needn’t be only in ASCII? Is there any other help than use the old version, which is OK?

 

There is another problem with programming languages. Preps it should be made in the same way as is in ctags. I use xgettext for example for *.4GL programs too, and xgettext sends warnings, that such extensions are unknown, it will take C. If there would be option like –--langmap=c++:.c.ec.EC.h  then it would be better.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

With regards
