I wasn't paying attention. Clearly, this text with "Hello" should be followed by name. > should fix that. See this excerpt at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext > > #: src/name.c:36 > msgid "My name is %s.\n" > msgstr "Je m'appelle %s.\n" Well... true. But this PO in this document was a variant of "hello world" program msgid "Hello. My name is %s.\n" msgstr "Bonjour. Je m'appelle %s.\n" Never blindly trust google translate ;-) I will work on it.
