Simple tool to check for glib-style translation context format

[Behdad Esfahbod <behdad cs toronto edu>]

Hi,

I hacked up the attached script that can be used to check
translations for invalid translation of glib-style context
strings.  It's a simple heuristic, but does the job, and we can
extend it as more complex cases show up.

Questions:

1) I can already see the following have incorrect translations in
gtk+ HEAD: bn, br, cs, mk, ne, ru, sq, xh.  Can someone run this
on all current translations of all modules?  And shall we fix it
or let the translators do?  Seems like they don't...  I can hack
another script to automatically fixing them, by replacing their
msgstr with an empty string.  The command I used is this btw:

  for x in *.po; do check-glib-context $x >/dev/null || echo $x; done


2) Shall we write our own extended msgfmt in intltool?  In glib?


3) Ross, can you install this as part of the po/ commit script?


That's all for now I guess.

Cheers,
