Hi Wolff,
Thanks for your reply. The reason I am concerned is that the header is
growing in a repetitive manner, like this:
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR em...@address, YEAR.
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR em...@address, YEAR.
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR em...@address, YEAR.
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR em...@address, YEAR.
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
and there are many more lines like that that follows, so I'm not quite
certain if this behavior is normal. In the output generated by xgettext,
there is only 1 block of this header but over time the PO contains many
identical blocks like this.
Regards,
Bernard Chan.

Hi everybody,
We have a PHP-based project with POs managed by Pootle. As we execute
xgettext to extract the message strings, it generates a POT that starts
with
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR em...@address, YEAR.

msgid
msgstr
Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n

After shipping this POT to Pootle templates dir, I found that as Pootle
updates POs from templates, the first several lines of translator
comments (which we consider junk anyway) got inserted into the POs every
time, so now my output POs have many instances of these comments at the
top.
So, does anyone know what I can do to suppress this insertion?
I am not sure that any tools allow for a way to suppress this type of
behaviour. The header comments have become almost expected for headers,
and usually contain the copyright information. To my best knowledge all
PO editors do something similar to what we do.
While Pootle doesn't allow direct editing of the header comments, it
will allow you to remove them if you upload a file in overwrite mode if
you really need this, but I assume these headers aren't a real problem,
are they? If we don't do it already, I think we will include the names
of all contributors in the header as we already do in Virtaal. The rest
of the comments are left untouched.
