Details:
With a correct UTF-8 character set on Linux, wmlxgettext reads the WML files
with UTF-8 encoding, and it also prints to the STDOUT with UTF-8. On Windows
XP however (and maybe on newer Windows systems) the default character
encoding is not UTF-8, and thus it has to be forced in the wmlxgettext
script.
Current wmlxgettext in trunk outputs the following example line on Windows
XP:
That’s a test of some UTF-8 characters, which are obligatory according
to the new style guide…
But it should be:
That’s a test of some UTF-8 characters, which are obligatory according to
the new style guide…
To solve the problem you should add the following lines to the top of
wmlxgettext (comments can be removed of course):
use utf8; # use utf8 in the script
use open IO => ':utf8'; # use utf8 for reading from files
binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8'); # use utf8 for STDOUT
That fixes the problem for Windows XP, and it keeps working on Linux. Tested
on Windows XP SP3 Hungarian and Ubuntu 10.10 with hu_HU.UTF-8. Minimal
testing scripts attached, comment out the additional utf8 lines in
wmlxgettext and launch makepot.bat on Windows to reproduce the bug.
