Hi All, When viewing the status pages such as http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/zh_HK/gnome-2-24 one can see the error:
Download po file <http://l10n.gnome.org/POT/anjuta.HEAD/docs/help.HEAD.pot> anjuta <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/anjuta> [Error regenerating POT file for document help.HEAD: <pre>cd ] doSerialize(doc) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 602, in doSerialize outtxt += doSerialize(child) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 596, in doSerialize (starttag, content, endtag, translation) = processElementTag(node, repl, 1) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 496, in processElementTag myrepl.append(processElementTag(child, myrepl, 1)) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 496, in processElementTag myrepl.append(processElementTag(child, myrepl, 1)) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 496, in processElementTag myrepl.append(processElementTag(child, myrepl, 1)) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 496, in processElementTag myrepl.append(processElementTag(child, myrepl, 1)) File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 534, in processElementTag translation = translation.replace(u'' % (i), replacement) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 95: ordinal not in range(128)" /> Source file: http://l10n.gnome.org/POT/anjuta.HEAD/docs/help.HEAD.pot It appears that the mere fact the POT file has a non-ascii character causes damned-lies to break. The offending character apparently is … (ellipsis character), due to the 0xe2 hint. It is strange because other POT/PO files have non-ASCII characters as well, such as evince and epiphany. If someone can figure out what's wrong, it would be great. Talking about encodings in POT files, here is a recent discussion going on, http://blogs.gnome.org/simos/2008/05/14/should-ui-strings-in-source-code-have-non-ascii-characters/ Simos _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
