Julien Palard <julien+pyt...@palard.fr> added the comment:
After some research I found a few comments around comments being marked as
starting by #-#-#-#-# and ending with #-#-#-#-#, not just starting with #.
In gettext-0.19.8.1 sources for example:
$ grep -r '#-#-#-#-' | head
gettext-tools/misc/po-mode.el:#-#-#-#-# file name reference #-#-#-#-#
gettext-tools/misc/po-mode.el: (let* ((marker-regex "^#-#-#-#-# \\(.*\\)
#-#-#-#-#\n")
gettext-tools/src/msgl-cat.c: char *id = xasprintf ("#-#-#-#-#
%s #-#-#-#-#",
Or more precisly in `gettext-tools/tests/msgcat-10`:
# Verify msgcat of two files, when the header entries have different comments
# but the same contents. The resulting header entry is not marked fuzzy,
# because the #-#-#-#-# are only in comments and do not necessarily require
# translator attention; in other words, an msgstr which is valid in both input
# files is also valid in the result.
I'm however surprised not to find much of "#-#-#-#-#" in the source code, like
if they are just looking a single # like you do here.
Not sure which one is the better, eliminating lines with a pair of #-#-#-#-# or
lines starting with a #, both looks OK to me (we're only speaking about the
header here, not the msgstr, so it won't have much impact).
Personally I'd go for eliminating #-#-#-#-# as this is the only case we've
seen, and is the "documented" one in the GNU gettext test cases.
