Subject: Bug#196637: gettext: xgettext messes with control characters
Package: gettext
Version: 0.12.1-1
Severity: wishlist
xgettext has been changing \v to ^K for some time now. Please make it
stop.
$ echo 'gettext("This ->\v<- is a \\v.\n")'|xgettext -L c -o - -|tail -3
#: standard input:1
msgid "This ->
<- is a \\v.\n"
msgstr ""
Is there any good reason for this? It makes the translators job harder
if \v for example is used by the program as a control character. It's
also rather inconsistent, since \n and possibly other control characters
aren't treated the same way.
