Thank you for your bug report, Debian is working on a gettext version update which will include that fix

It doesn't seem important enough to justify a SRU backport to Bionic though, could you give a bit more details of why you think it's important and maybe a testcase which can be used to verify the issue and the fix?

[Ilya Lukin (ilukin)]

It's important because a lot of web-developers are using React[1] (*.jsx), but can't using gettext for localization.

Testcase:
xgettext --from-code=utf-8 --language=JavaScript filename.jsx

Fix already done, see first message.

Thanks for the detail, could you add a jsx example to the bug that could be used as testcase?

xgettext --from-code=utf-8 --language=JavaScript --keyword=translate Documentation.jsx
