Description Nicolas Goutte 2004-09-17 17:30:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It seems that KBabel has a problem when the "last translator" entry was wrapped on multiple lines in the original file. KBabel seems to write again the "last translator" entry and then also the second line of the former "last translator" entry. But the problem is that it does not follow anymore the syntax "Key: Value\n" of the first message.

One result is such a file like:
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/kde-i18n/de/messages/kdepim/kleopatra.po?rev=1.37&content-type=text/plain
where the email of the last translator appears 2 times on extra lines.

The discussion happend on the 17th September 2004 on kde-cvs with the title
"KDE_3_3_BRANCH: kde-i18n/de/messages/kdepim"
(The thread is http://lists.kde.org/?t=109213586500006&r=1&w=2
I will forward the most importnat message(s) when this bug report is finished.

Have a nice day!

Yes, but the syntax of each property of the first message is in the form:

key: value\n

And the property defined by the extra line does not follow the syntax, but it
should, as we have a \n in the line before.

KBabel? Good, perhaps it is a KBabel bug then.

Sure it is optional. But here it breaks the syntax of the first message.

Have a nice day!

And here the URL of relevant messages starting each sub-thread
(as otherwise using the thread archive URL given above will be quite difficult in future.)

This bug also happens after editing po file with long Plural-Forms header divided in several lines (version 3.2.3, Debian unstable).

I suppose that any long entry triggers the problem, even if I have not tested 
it.

Have a nice day!

This is fixed for KDE 3.4
