Clytie, thanks for clarifying and asking on translation-i18n. Also thanks Bruno and Danilo for the more detailed explanation. I misunderstood Clytie and thought msgctxt is a command line tool like msgfmt and msgcat. Now I can confirm that gettext 0.15 in Debian indeed support msgctxt. (Well, at least the info page has the information about msgctxt and msgcat doesn't complain about a PO file with msgctxt field. :-) Ming 2006.10.26 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
