Description Geert Warrink 2008-04-21 16:59:23 UTC

Description of problem:
I am translating the installation guide into Dutch.
I update nl.po with the command: make po-nl.
After some translation work, I check my work with: make validate-xml-nl.
This results in the following output:
...
snip
...
xml2po -e -p po/nl.po en_US/entities.xml >nl/entities.xml
po/nl.po:2362: end-of-line within string
po/nl.po:2363: end-of-line within string
msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
make: *** [nl/entities.xml] Error 7
...
end snip
...

The nl.po file contains:
...
snip
...
2361  #: en_US/other-instmethods.xml:159(seg)
2362  msgid "D:\\""
2363  msgstr "D:\\""
...
end snip
...

After removing the last " in line 2362 and 2363
the problem is gone and stays away for some time.
But every now and then this problem comes back.
I cannot figure out why this happens, probably after
something is updated in the CVS.

Comment 1 Janis Ozolins 2008-06-22 13:29:22 UTC

I have checked the pot file, here is nothing wrong with it. The orginal pot file
contents:

#: en_US/other-instmethods.xml:159(seg)
msgid "D:\\"
msgstr ""

After saving file with gtranslator it makes these lines as above described. So
this bug relates to gnome bugzilla.

Comment 2 Geert Warrink 2008-06-22 16:57:41 UTC

You are right, I can reproduce the problem using gtranslator and a small test
file containing the problem line.
I reported the problem to gnome bugzilla, 539617.
I suppose that this bug report (443455) can be closed.
