This is a Quickstart guide to using it: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/using_pofilter [EMAIL PROTECTED] pootle]$ pofilter -l | wc -l 38 You are free to add to or enhance the existing checks but you might find that the current ones are more then what you need. [EMAIL PROTECTED] pootle]$ pofilter -l accelerators checks whether accelerators are consistent between the two strings acronyms checks that acronyms that appear are unchanged blank checks whether a translation is totally blank brackets checks that the number of brackets in both strings match compendiumconflicts checks for Gettext compendium conflicts (#-#-#-#-#) doublequoting checks whether doublequoting is consistent between the two strings doublespacing checks for bad double-spaces by comparing to original doublewords checks for repeated words in the translation emails checks to see that emails are not translated endpunc checks whether punctuation at the end of the strings match endwhitespace checks whether whitespace at the end of the strings matches escapes checks whether escaping is consistent between the two strings filepaths checks that file paths have not been translated functions checks to see that function names are not translated isfuzzy check if the po element has been marked fuzzy isreview check if the po element has been marked review kdecomments checks to ensure that no KDE style comments appear in the translation long checks whether a translation is much longer than the original string musttranslatewords checks that words configured as definitely translatable don't appear in the translation notranslatewords checks that words configured as untranslatable appear in the translation too numbers checks whether numbers of various forms are consistent between the two strings puncspacing checks for bad spacing after punctuation purepunc checks that strings that are purely punctuation are not changed sentencecount checks that the number of sentences in both strings match short checks whether a translation is much shorter than the original string simplecaps checks the capitalisation of two strings isn't wildly different simpleplurals checks for English style plural(s) for you to review singlequoting checks whether singlequoting is consistent between the two strings spellcheck checks words that don't pass a spell check startcaps checks that the message starts with the correct capitalisation startpunc checks whether punctuation at the beginning of the strings match startwhitespace checks whether whitespace at the beginning of the strings matches unchanged checks whether a translation is basically identical to the original string untranslated checks whether a string has been translated at all urls checks to see that URLs are not translated validchars checks that only characters specified as valid appear in the translation variables checks whether variables of various forms are consistent between the two strings xmltags checks that XML/HTML tags have not been translated On Fri, 2006-06-30 at 01:45 -0500, Joe Wreschnig wrote: > Hi, > > At some point I seem to recall there being a tool like 'pofix' or > 'pocheck' or something along those lines, that was more powerful/strict > than 'msgfmt -c'.
