Re: Gettext: xgettext JavaScript scanner backend

[Andreas Stricker]

Hi

I finally managed to write a xgettext scanner backend for JavaScript.
It's hosted on github and the branch is called 'javascript':

http://github.com/AndyStricker/gettext-javascript

I'll like to hear some feedback. I've waited since last mail as
there were a few issues that needed to be resolved first.

I wrote a few weeks ago:
