Hi there,
I've got a webrev here which adds gnu-gettext to the pkg5 developer
package, moves .mo files into pkg:/package/pkg and fixes a bunch of
i18n/l10n problems that have built up over the years, adding checks for
those now as part of the build.
7185135 i18n messages should use parameterized values
7188804 pkg5 should depend on gnu-gettext
7194773 pkg.mo should move to pkg:/package/pkg
https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/pkg/timf/l10n-cleanup/
Right now, the only thing i18n_check() in setup.py does, is look for
parameterized gettext messages that don't use dictionaries if there's
more than one argument, causing the build to fail if it finds any, for
example:
_("this %s is the %s %s") % (animal, colour, animal)
is bad, because translators can't change the order of the arguments.
Better is:
_("this %(animal)s is the %(colour)s %(animal)s") % \
{"animal": animal, "colour": colour}
but we could add other i18n checks I guess if we felt the need.
Comments welcome?
cheers,
tim
