Re: [Vala] xgettext and genie

[rastersoft]

Hi:

Thanks, but it seems that it doesn't work. The POTFILES.in file has all
the files to be translated, and they can be C, Vala, Glade and Genie.

In Intltool it was possible to annotate the POTFILES.in with [type:
gettext/LANG] for each file, but with xgettext it seems it is not
possible... Do you know a way of specifying to use Vala syntax for .gs
files? Or to use Vala syntax when it doesn't recognize an extension type?

Thanks.

Sounds good, thanks.

You could try:
xgettext --language=Vala
This picks up:
print _( "simple translation sample" )

print dgettext( null, "simple translation sample" )

print( _( "simple translation sample" ))
print( dgettext( null, "simple translation sample" ))
in Genie.

You could also try:
xgettext --language=Python
if there are any problems with white space parsing, although I'm not sure that 
is used. Genie doesn't use the # for comments though.
