Re: Evolution translation commit reverted

[Daniel Mustieles García <daniel mustieles gmail com>]

The problem with itstool is that it doesn't say where is the mismatched tag. For this cases, gtxml is really useful but I don't know why, in this case, it didn't show the error.

With itstool you can isolate the .xml or .page file easily. Just using the following command inside a loop can help to identify the file containing the tag:

itstool --strict -m de/messages.mo -o /dev/null <.xml|.page file>

Now just need to search the offending tag in the PO file, filtering by the name of the XML file. It's not perfect, but maybe helps in some cases.

Cheers

P.S. To generate the messages.mo file just run msgfmt de.po inside the help/de folder

I also ran into dependency issues when trying to compile.
Thanks for re-applying


For everybody, the tag mismatch was <_:guiseq-1/> and <_:gui-1/>

Use "itstool --strict" to detect similar issues.
