Any reason for that?
xml2po tries to avoid HTML inline tags. If you see:
#: help-boot.html:135(em) msgid "splash=silent" msgstr ""
#: help-boot.html:135(li) msgid "<placeholder-1/> -- Activates splash, but no messages. Instead a progress bar is drawn." msgstr ""
<placeholder-1/> expands to the previous msgid plus the HTML tag given in the source reference in parentheses:
msgid "<em>splash=silent</em> -- Activates splash, but no messages. Instead a progress bar is drawn."
That's just the way it works. I tried other options, but they were not as reliable as I'd like to see them.
Not %s? Mmmm. Interesting. Perhaps you could consider a small readme for translators in the po directory? There are things translators should know about the files they translate, but many are just know-how that only the last translator konws, and lost on the next round. Best thing would be for the po format to have a "file comment" field at the beginning. Perhpaps, a hack: msgid "AAAAAAA-sorting-hack - file readme for translator" msgstr "not used" - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
