With diff, I could see, that many lines were changed, even there was no semantic change. This was caused by poedit from automatic line break. It breaks lines after 83 chars, regardless if I e.g. set it to 70 (with "keep format of existing files"), the default was 79. So I like to suggest, to first "reformat" the de.po file for a stable format, make a merge request and after do the semantic changes, so reviewers would have less work. I tend to agree! I prefer to formatting changes separated from functional updates.Great! I personally would prefer NO line breaks, as comparing the diffs after would be much easier (otherwise a little change at the beginning of a long text changes all line breaks for several following lines, which makes it error-prone to observe changes at the end of the long text) If you disagree and want automatic line breaks, which width do you want? -Ulf I personally don't have a view. However I see that the default setting in poedit is 79 and that seems reasonable to me. In the version I have has a setting of "Preserve formatting of existing files" so I don't know why it would be making other changes. :(
Maybe this setting scans for the longest line in the input file an takes its width instead the determined 79. Is there any opposition from someone against disabling the automatic line break, as today's screens are huge and modern edit and visual diff tools are anyway capable to visually wrap lines according the window width. This would dramatically serve visual diff tools to highlight tiny differences in long logical strings. -Ulf
