Getting the translation of the empty string ""

[Davi Leal]

Hi,

The emacs gettext mode enforce the definition of an empty msgid "",

    msgid ""
    msgstr ""
      "Project-Id-Version: messages 0.0.1\n"
      "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: ..."

That raises a problem if I try to translate a variable which keeps an empty 
string. That is to say,
   gettext("")

returns:
    "Project-Id-Version: messages 0.0.1 ... "

instead of just:
    ""



Any advice?.




P.S.: According to  tschwinge at #gnu IRC channel,  you could add the 
<address@hidden> contact address to the 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ web page. I had to ask for that contact 
to several guys. I was thinking about send this requirement to address@hidden  
which is the only email at http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/

Regards,
Davi
