Dear List,
--
I am trying to use xgettext to create a .pot file from an existing Java source code. Unfortunately, the code seems to be written a bit differently than expected by xgettext:
1. Several calls include two msgid's, for example:
translate("File", "The File Menu");
where the first string is the name of the menu and the second one is its tooltip. In such cases I cannot get both translations at the same time because xgettext gives me the following error: "ambiguous argument specification for keyword 'translate'". Here I use the command line options "-ktranslate:1 -ktranslate:2". I get only the first entry "File", the other one is not present in the .pot file.
2. I tried to work this around by splitting the method translate() into two calls translateMenuitem() and translateTooltip() and call a final method translateString() separately, but seemingly there is no semantic analysis to find out that translateString() is called via another calls, so I get no output here at all.
Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks for any hints in advance.
Best regards, Zoltan
