Gettext is not only a set of tools, it also defines an standard. So every
implementation should comply with the standard.
(It's good to be aware that TG1 had its own implementation; I didn't know
that)
> Gettext documentation specifies that having duplicated msgid in a .po
file ''"is invalid input for other programs like msgfmt, msgmerge or
msgcat" (9.5 Invoking the msguniq Program)''.
Exactly. Did you see how I handled that in the script I attached? That's
not a bug, it's the intended behavior.
> tg-admin i18n collect generates such duplicates. Is it the correct
behavior as the .pot generated it supposed to be the input to "tg-admin
i18n merge" (emulating msgmerge) and "tg-admin i18n compile" (msgfmt) ?
I don't know how TG1 handles that, since you say it has its own
implementation. What I do know is that xgettext (or equivalent) must *not*
do anything with duplicate messages. Duplicate messages ''must'' be
handled with msguniq and/or msgcomm, or equivalents.
Again, there's no such bugs. It's all part of the intended and documented
behavior.
