Hi Hleb, thanks for following up. It's definitely possible that I am misunderstanding something here, but... I was under the impression that compatibility with GNU gettext was a design goal of ruby-gettext. What's the point of doubling the backslashes in newline characters, anyway? I thought that the strings to be translated should be inserted basically unchanged into the .pot file... > (But to remove > Plural-Forms doesn't seems to be a good idea) Definitely not a good idea, in my humble opinion. And what's the rationale, anyway? I think GNU gettext supports Plural-Forms, hence you won't get GNU gettext compatibility, if you remove Plural-Forms. Quite the opposite, I would say. Or am I completely off-track? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
