Package: po4a
Version: 0.24-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
po4a incorrectly translates man pages containing the tbl tables,
when the table uses default colum separator (tab character)
and in some rows some columns are skipped (i.e. there're at
least two separators side by side in the row).
For better exemplification of the bug I'm attaching three files.
The first one (original.1) is a simple test man page. The translated.po
file was generated by po4a-updatepo and then all msgids was copied
to msgstr. And finally, translated.1 is a page generated with
po4a-translate. Please note that the page contains some bogus`\t'
strings.
Another (unrelated) issue is that po4a always puts its `generated with po4a'
comment at the very beggining of generated man pages. However the `"\ t' line
has a special meaning for the man program and probably should always be
placed at the first line of man page (see man(7)).
Best Regards
robert
