Package: po4a
Version: 0.33-1
Severity: minor
man(1) has a complicated bit where it defines a "soft-hyphen" string as
follows:
.ie c \[shc] \
. ds soft-hyphen \[shc]
.el \
. ds soft-hyphen \(hy
... and then uses it like this in input text preprocessed by tbl:
continuation [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The new Polish translation looks like this:
# type: tbl table
#: ../man1/man.man1:792
#, no-wrap
msgid "continuation [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
msgstr "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Unfortunately, this comes out like this when passed through
po4a-translate:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Note the extra backslash. Now compare the rendering of the English and
Polish pages:
continuation hyphen 255 -
łącznik 255 hyphen] -
I'll probably change the string name to 'softhyphen' or similar to work
around this bug, but could you change po4a to avoid mangling '-' inside
\*[...] string variable escapes?
Thanks,
