Re: [Vala] xgettext and genie

[rastersoft <raster rastersoft com>]

Hi:

Thanks, but it seems that it doesn't work. The POTFILES.in file has all
the files to be translated, and they can be C, Vala, Glade and Genie.

In Intltool it was possible to annotate the POTFILES.in with [type:
gettext/LANG] for each file, but with xgettext it seems it is not
possible... Do you know a way of specifying to use Vala syntax for .gs
files? Or to use Vala syntax when it doesn't recognize an extension type?

Thanks.
