Bug Description

It would be nice if any header unknown by Rosetta found in .pot files could be added to the produced .po file :

This would allow a simple way of getting the right header metadata needed by Plone Placeless Translation Service

Hi Godefroid,

Can you tell me more about the headers you need included in the PO files? Do they follow the "X-" convention?

It should be fairly simple to copy headers from the PO template to exported PO files.

The field in the header is 'domain'.

If it is on the .pot file, it could be copied to the .po files.

Thanks

I've implemented this. Should turn up in production next week.

From the current .pot file we have for plone in Rosetta, I can see that you are using this non standard headers:

"Language-Code: fr\n"
"Language-Name: French\n"
"Preferred-Encodings: latin1 utf-8\n"
"Domain: compopack\n"
"X-Is-Fallback-For: fr-be fr-ca fr-lu fr-mc fr-ch\n"

All them should start with a 'X-' prefix, like X-Is-Fallback-For

In fact, gettext's .po files already support something like:

domain "domain_1"
msgid "hello world"
msgstr "hei verden"

To define the translation domain so you don't need that 'Domain:' header.

Do you think you would promote the Plone fix for that? I suppose it's not easy, but you should follow the standard when possible...

Given that Rosetta doesn't support the Gettext domain declaration, I wouldn't encourage Plone to start using that.

It would be marginally nicer if the "Domain" header were an "X-Domain" header, but it's not of any practical difference as far as I can tell.

If all PO templates had a Domain header, it would make things a lot easier for Rosetta -- we could make most of Martin's hacks for working out the domain go away, I think.

Well, Rosetta it's not difficult to add support for standard domains in Rosetta.

I know that's unrelated with Rosetta, but we should follow the standards! As you already know, that's the only way to interoperate between applications...
