It's strange. With this simple test.js:
/* comment 1 */
gettext('test string 1');
// comment 2
gettext('test string 2');
I get the following PO:
#. comment 1
msgid "test string 1"
msgstr ""
#. comment 2
msgid "test string 2"
msgstr ""
by calling xgettext as follows:
xgettext --add-comments --omit-header --no-location -o - test.js
gettext-tools/tests/xgettext-javascript-1 actually contains a similar
test, though it uses a different option: --add-comments=TRANSLATORS:
