Here is a framework that detects cases where a PO file assigns the same accelerator key to multiple buttons in a dialog box or to multiple items in a menu. ELinks already has some support for this but it requires the translator to run ELinks and manually scan through all menus and dialogs. The attached changes make it possible to quickly detect and list any conflicts, including ones that can only occur on operating systems or configurations that the translator is not currently using. The changes have no immediate effect on the elinks executable or the MO files. PO files become larger, however. The scheme works like this: - Like before, accelerator keys in translatable strings are tagged with the tilde (~) character. - Whenever a C source file defines an accelerator key, it must assign one or more named "contexts" to it. The translations in the PO files inherit these contexts. If multiple strings use the same accelerator (case insensitive) in the same context, that's a conflict and can be detected automatically. - The contexts are defined with "gettext_accelerator_context" comments in source files. These comments delimit regions where all translatable strings containing tildes are given the same contexts. There must be one special comment at the top of the region; it lists the contexts assigned to that region. The region automatically ends at the end of the function (found with regexp /^\}/), but it can also be closed explicitly with another special comment. The comments are formatted like this: /* [gettext_accelerator_context(foo, bar, baz)] begins a region that uses the contexts "foo", "bar", and "baz". The comma is the delimiter; whitespace is optional. [gettext_accelerator_context()] ends the region. */ The scripts don't currently check whether this syntax occurs inside or outside comments. - The names of contexts consist of C identifiers delimited with periods. I typically used the name of a function that sets up a dialog, or the name of an array where the items of a menu are listed. There is a special feature for static functions: if the name begins with a period, then the period will be replaced with the name of the source file and a colon. - If a menu is programmatically generated from multiple parts, of which some are never used together, so that it is safe to use the same accelerators in them, then it is necessary to define multiple contexts for the same menu. link_menu() in src/viewer/text/link.c is the most complex example of this. - During make update-po: - A Perl script (po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl) reads po/elinks.pot, scans the source files listed in it for "gettext_accelerator_context" comments, and rewrites po/elinks.pot with "accelerator_context" comments that indicate the contexts of each msgid: the union of all contexts of all of its uses in the source files. It also removes any "gettext_accelerator_context" comments that xgettext --add-comments has copied to elinks.pot. - If po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl does not find any contexts for some use of an msgid that seems to contain an accelerator (because it contains a tilde), it warns. If the tilde refers to e.g. "~/.elinks" and does not actually mark an accelerator, the warning can be silenced by specifying the special context "IGNORE", which the script otherwise ignores. - msgmerge copies the "accelerator_context" comments from po/elinks.pot to po/*.po. Translators do not edit those comments. - During make check-po: - Another Perl script (po/check-accelerator-contexts.pl) reads po/*.po and keeps track of which accelerators have been bound in each context. It warns about any conflicts it finds. This script does not access the C source files; thus it does not matter if the line numbers in "#:" lines are out of date. This implementation is not perfect and I am not proposing to add it to the main source tree at this time. Specifically: - It introduces compile-time dependencies on Perl and Locale::PO. There should be a configure-time or compile-time check so that the new features are skipped if the prerequisites are missing. - When the scripts include msgstr strings in warnings, they should transcode them from the charset of the PO file to the one specified by the user's locale. - It is not adequately documented (well, except perhaps here). - po/check-accelerator-contexts.pl reports the same conflict multiple times if it occurs in multiple contexts. - The warning messages should include line numbers, so that users of Emacs could conveniently edit the conflicting part of the PO file. This is not feasible with the current version of Locale::PO. - Locale::PO does not understand #~ lines and spews warnings about them. There is an ugly hack to hide these warnings. - Jonas Fonseca suggested the script could propose accelerators that are still available. This has not been implemented. There are three files attached: - po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl: Augments elinks.pot with context information. - po/check-accelerator-contexts.pl: Checks conflicts. - accelerator-contexts.diff: Makes po/Makefile run the scripts, and adds special comments to source files.

This is not feasible with the current version of Locale::PO. - Locale::PO does not understand #~ lines and spews warnings about them. There is an ugly hack to hide these warnings. - Jonas Fonseca suggested the script could propose accelerators that are still available. This has not been implemented. There are three files attached: - po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl: Augments elinks.pot with context information. - po/check-accelerator-contexts.pl: Checks conflicts. - accelerator-contexts.diff: Makes po/Makefile run the scripts, and adds special comments to source files.

Here is a framework that detects cases where a PO file assigns the same accelerator key to multiple buttons in a dialog box or to multiple items in a menu. ELinks already has some support for this but it requires the translator to run ELinks and manually scan through all menus and dialogs. The attached changes make it possible to quickly detect and list any conflicts, including ones that can only occur on operating systems or configurations that the translator is not currently using. The changes have no immediate effect on the elinks executable or the MO files. PO files become larger, however. The scheme works like this: - Like before, accelerator keys in translatable strings are tagged with the tilde (~) character. - Whenever a C source file defines an accelerator key, it must assign one or more named "contexts" to it. The translations in the PO files inherit these contexts. If multiple strings use the same accelerator (case insensitive) in the same context, that's a conflict and can be detected automatically. - The contexts are defined with "gettext_accelerator_context" comments in source files. These comments delimit regions where all translatable strings containing tildes are given the same contexts. There must be one special comment at the top of the region; it lists the contexts assigned to that region. The region automatically ends at the end of the function (found with regexp /^\}/), but it can also be closed explicitly with another special comment. The comments are formatted like this: /* [gettext_accelerator_context(foo, bar, baz)] begins a region that uses the contexts "foo", "bar", and "baz". The comma is the delimiter; whitespace is optional. [gettext_accelerator_context()] ends the region. */ The scripts don't currently check whether this syntax occurs inside or outside comments. - The names of contexts consist of C identifiers delimited with periods. I typically used the name of a function that sets up a dialog, or the name of an array where the items of a menu are listed. There is a special feature for static functions: if the name begins with a period, then the period will be replaced with the name of the source file and a colon. - If a menu is programmatically generated from multiple parts, of which some are never used together, so that it is safe to use the same accelerators in them, then it is necessary to define multiple contexts for the same menu. link_menu() in src/viewer/text/link.c is the most complex example of this. - During make update-po: - A Perl script (po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl) reads po/elinks.pot, scans the source files listed in it for "gettext_accelerator_context" comments, and rewrites po/elinks.pot with "accelerator_context" comments that indicate the contexts of each msgid: the union of all contexts of all of its uses in the source files. It also removes any "gettext_accelerator_context" comments that xgettext --add-comments has copied to elinks.pot. - If po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl does not find any contexts for some use of an msgid that seems to contain an accelerator (because it contains a tilde), it warns. If the tilde refers to e.g. "~/.elinks" and does not actually mark an accelerator, the warning can be silenced by specifying the special context "IGNORE", which the script otherwise ignores. - msgmerge copies the "accelerator_context" comments from po/elinks.pot to po/*.po.

Here is a framework that detects cases where a PO file assigns the same accelerator key to multiple buttons in a dialog box or to multiple items in a menu. ELinks already has some support for this but it requires the translator to run ELinks and manually scan through all menus and dialogs. The attached changes make it possible to quickly detect and list any conflicts, including ones that can only occur on operating systems or configurations that the translator is not currently using. The changes have no immediate effect on the elinks executable or the MO files. PO files become larger, however. The scheme works like this: - Like before, accelerator keys in translatable strings are tagged with the tilde (~) character. - Whenever a C source file defines an accelerator key, it must assign one or more named "contexts" to it. The translations in the PO files inherit these contexts. If multiple strings use the same accelerator (case insensitive) in the same context, that's a conflict and can be detected automatically. - The contexts are defined with "gettext_accelerator_context" comments in source files. These comments delimit regions where all translatable strings containing tildes are given the same contexts. There must be one special comment at the top of the region; it lists the contexts assigned to that region. The region automatically ends at the end of the function (found with regexp /^\}/), but it can also be closed explicitly with another special comment. The comments are formatted like this: /* [gettext_accelerator_context(foo, bar, baz)] begins a region that uses the contexts "foo", "bar", and "baz". The comma is the delimiter; whitespace is optional. [gettext_accelerator_context()] ends the region. */ The scripts don't currently check whether this syntax occurs inside or outside comments. - The names of contexts consist of C identifiers delimited with periods. I typically used the name of a function that sets up a dialog, or the name of an array where the items of a menu are listed. There is a special feature for static functions: if the name begins with a period, then the period will be replaced with the name of the source file and a colon. - If a menu is programmatically generated from multiple parts, of which some are never used together, so that it is safe to use the same accelerators in them, then it is necessary to define multiple contexts for the same menu. link_menu() in src/viewer/text/link.c is the most complex example of this. - During make update-po: - A Perl script (po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl) reads po/elinks.pot, scans the source files listed in it for "gettext_accelerator_context" comments, and rewrites po/elinks.pot with "accelerator_context" comments that indicate the contexts of each msgid: the union of all contexts of all of its uses in the source files. It also removes any "gettext_accelerator_context" comments that xgettext --add-comments has copied to elinks.pot. - If po/gather-accelerator-contexts.pl does not find any contexts for some use of an msgid that seems to contain an accelerator (because it contains a tilde), it warns. If the tilde refers to e.g. "~/.elinks" and does not actually mark an accelerator, the warning can be silenced by specifying the special context "IGNORE", which the script otherwise ignores. - msgmerge copies the "accelerator_context" comments from po/elinks.pot to po/*.po. Translators do not edit those comments. - During make check-po: - Another Perl script (po/check-accelerator-contexts.pl) reads po/*.po and keeps track of which accelerators have been bound in each context.

=head1 NAME
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
msgaccel-prepare - Augment a PO file with information for detecting
accelerator conflicts.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> [I<option> ...] F<I<program>.pot>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> is part of a framework that detects conflicting
accelerator keys in Gettext PO files. A conflict is when two items in
the same menu or two buttons in the same dialog box use the same
accelerator key.
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
The PO file format does not normally include any information
on which strings will be used in the same menu or dialog box.
B<msgaccel-prepare> adds this information in the form of
"accelerator_context" comments, which B<msgaccel-check>
then parses in order to detect the conflicts.
The PO file format also does not directly support definitions of
accelerator keys. Typically, the keys are encoded in C<msgstr>
strings, by placing a tilde in front of the character that should be
used as the accelerator key. That is also the syntax supported by
this framework and by B<msgfmt --check-accelerators> of GNU Gettext.
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> first reads the F<I<program>.pot> file named on
the command line. This file must include "#:" comments that point
to the source files from which B<xgettext> extracted each C<msgid>.
B<msgaccel-prepare> then scans those source files for context
information and rewrites F<I<program>.pot> to include the
"accelerator_context" comments. Finally, the standard tool
B<msgmerge> can be used to copy the added comments to all the
F<I<language>.po> files.
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
It is best to run B<msgaccel-prepare> immediately after B<xgettext>
so that the source references will be up to date.
=head2 Contexts
Whenever a source file refers to an C<msgid> that includes an
accelerator key, it must assign one or more named B<contexts> to it.
The C<msgstr>s in the PO files inherit these contexts. If multiple
C<msgstr>s use the same accelerator (case insensitive) in the same
context, that's a conflict and can be detected automatically.
If the same C<msgid> is used in multiple places in the source code,
and those places assign different contexts to it, then all of those
contexts will apply.
The names of contexts consist of C identifiers delimited with periods.
The identifier is typically the name of a function that sets up a
dialog, or the name of an array where the items of a menu are listed.
There is a special feature for file-local identifiers (C<static> in C):
if the name begins with a period, then the period will be replaced
with the name of the source file and a colon. The name "IGNORE" is
reserved.
If a menu is programmatically generated from multiple parts, of which
some are never used together, so that it is safe to use the same
accelerators in them, then it is necessary to define multiple contexts
for the same menu.
=head2 How to define contexts in source files
The contexts are defined with "gettext_accelerator_context" comments
in source files. These comments delimit regions where all C<msgid>s
that seem to contain accelerators are given the same contexts. There
must be one special comment at the top of the region; it lists the
contexts assigned to that region. The region automatically ends at
the end of the function (found with regexp C</^\}/>), but it can also
be closed explicitly with another special comment. The comments are
formatted like this:
/* [gettext_accelerator_context(foo, bar, baz)]
begins a region that uses the contexts "foo", "bar", and "baz".
The comma is the delimiter; whitespace is optional.
[gettext_accelerator_context()]
ends the region. */
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> removes from F<I<program>.pot> any
"gettext_accelerator_context" comments that B<xgettext --add-comments>
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
may have copied there.
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> warns if it does not find any contexts for some
use of an C<msgid> that contains the character specified with the
B<--accelerator-tag> option. If the character does not actually
indicate an accelerator in that C<msgid> (e.g. "~" in "~/.bashrc"),
the warning can be silenced by specifying the special context
"IGNORE", which B<msgaccel-prepare> otherwise ignores.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<-S>F<I<srcdir>>, B<--srcdir=>F<I<srcdir>>,
B<--source-directory=>F<I<srcdir>>
The directory to which the source references in "#:" lines are
relative. Each use of this option adds one directory to the search
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
path. If you do not specify this option, B<msgaccel-prepare>
implicitly searches the current directory.
=item B<--accelerator-tag=>I<character>
Specify the character that marks accelerators in C<msgid> strings.
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> looks up accelerator contexts for any C<msgid>
that contains this character.
Omitting the B<--accelerator-tag> option implies
B<--accelerator-tag="~">. The option must be given to each program
separately because there is no standard way to save this information
in the PO file.
=back
=head1 ARGUMENTS
=over
=item F<I<program>.pot>
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
The file to augment with context information. B<msgaccel-prepare>
first reads this file and then overwrites it.
Although this documentation keeps referring to F<I<program>.pot>,
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
you can also use B<msgaccel-prepare> on an already translated
F<I<language>.po>. However, that will only work correctly if the
source references in the "#:" lines are still up to date.
=back
=head1 BUGS
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> assumes that source files are in the C programming
language: specifically, that a closing brace at the beginning of a
line marks the end of a function.
2007-07-17 07:32:07 -04:00
B<msgaccel-prepare> doesn't check whether the
"gettext_accelerator_context" comments actually are comments.
