Description Javier Viñal 2010-08-15 12:41:51 UTC
Version:           1.0 (KDE 4.3) (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Wish of automatic inclussion of "Language" header in .po files by Lokalize.

The presence of the language header would be useful for tools, like pology, that manage .po file. I include some fragments of an email interchange between me and Chusslove Illich:

Language: is since recently a standard PO header field, and therefore current and future parts of Pology and other tools are going to take note of it.

Language: header field should indeed be added to the catalog by the PO
editor, based on project configuration. Also, when merging with templates,
msgmerge since 0.18 will try to guess the language code from Language-Team:
header field (which usually contains human-readable language name in
English), and add Language: header field if it succeeds.

Reproducible: Didn't try

i'll implement this for KDE 4.6.
in the meantime, could you post a link to the new standard?
Comment 2 Chusslove Illich 2010-09-14 18:28:06 UTC
Added to the Gettext manual:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Header-Entry.html#Header-Entry
Comment 3 Nick Shaforostoff 2010-09-16 09:38:47 UTC
well from that link i need to modify your expected results:
not
# Language:es
but
"Language: eh\n"
which goes in the first msgid/msgstr entry, usually called header entry.
