Fix the .pot file, contains strings of translators

[diederik]

The .pot file contains useless strings at the moment; names of translators and debug messages (or context messages?). This could be a xgettext version issue, or we have the wrong calls in our KDE 4 code.

[diederik]

- fixed object names in titles - fixed generating the .pot file

remaining issues: - author names (from main.cpp) - HTML code from the network window.

[diederik]

HTML code should be done now with r3295.

Fixed the issue as of r3310: it was due to ki18n() calls for contributors names.

About the contributors names in the source file: as long as main.cpp remains UTF8 encoded, there's no risk of losing anything.

[valerio]

Note that I removed the ki18n() calls since person names will never need to be translated.

hmm running maketrans restores the names in the files. Options we have

• add all those names to kmess.pot.ignore (quick hack)
• find out how our main.cpp code or xgettext command should be to avoid this issue completely.

For reference, the original report was at: http://www.kmess.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3205

Can anyone check out if the attached patch fixes the .po files? I'm too tired at the moment, and also uncertain if running mergetrans will delete the strings removed from the code or keep them.

[valerio]

Fixed in r3589.

Just asked at IRC about this. It turns out some languages like to change the special characters in names to their localized version. So it's not a bug but a feature, and got the request to please don't #define ki18n.

Fixed as of r3621.
