gettext tools report the following warning: internationalized messages should not contain the `\r' escape sequence The string in question is: #: ../src/utils/pacat.c:577 #, c-format msgid "Time: %0.3f sec; Latency: %0.0f usec. \r"
But the \r is actually intended to be there (to move the cursor back to the beginning of the line). I really don't see what the point would be to drop that.
By all means leave that control sequence in the code if that is the intended behaviour, but you could move it out from the translatable string, i.e. break those up. That way you can guarantee the intended behaviour and not risk some translator removing control sequences because gettext complains - separating real language content from functionality, makes sense, no?
Ok. Convinced. Fixed upstream. Will hit rawhide shortly.
