Hi;
In the process of resolving various issues on bug 1174, issues with the
Hungarian translation, it was found that Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and GNU
gettext do not have compatible handling of %. As I have looked further
into the code it looks like only a very narrow subset of gettext formatting
functions are supported by our current libraries because parameterization
is handled in fundamentally different ways.
GNU Gettext uses sprintf with appropriate qualifiers, and so % has to be
escaped as %%. Locale::Maketext uses numeric identifiers with non-numeric
ones being method names. What this means is that our .po files aren't
really po files, but things that just kind of look like po files.
Initially we settled on gettext files because we wanted to have a standard
format. However this is not what we have now. So the question is, going
forward (1.5 and beyond) do we want to continue to use pseudo-gettext
files? Or do we want to move to something else? If we side with the
current status quo we certainly need to document it.
