Hello,
Here is a patch to the makefile of dbootstrap/po dir, to check against too
long messages. It relies on comments to the translators of the good format,
and that could be improoved.
Cool :-) I think translator comments is the best we can do. IMO, There
isn't a good way to automatically tell which messages are going into a
newtListBox(), someone really needs to read the code. The culprit is
newt.
Can I commit it, or do you have any objections ?
It looks great. Two things:
1. maybe a note indicating that if and when 138679 is fixed this test
can go away, as well as all the TRANS notes?
2. if I read it correctly though the special handling of main_menu.c
isn't very maintainable when the file changes. We're relying on line
numbers to stay the same, right? Perhaps we just need a bunch of
'TRANS' messages in main_menu.c.
