Comment 1 Daiki Ueno 2016-03-28 09:13:48 UTC

I don't know the origin of msghack, but apparently the tool doesn't support msgctxt at all.  Can't you just use msgfilter instead?

msgfilter sed -e d < <(echo "msgctxt \"ctxt\"\nmsgid \"id\"\nmsgstr \"string\"\n")

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2016-03-29 02:25:26 UTC

yes, msgfilter with --keep-header looks good as a workaround.

Comment 3 Daiki Ueno 2016-05-09 07:01:19 UTC

Given that msghack is provided only for backward compatibility (as noted in msghack.1), and the same task can be performed with the standard tool, I don't think it's worthwhile to add support for msgctxt.
