gettext-0.19.8.1-5 not returning when msgstr is multibyte

  • 1.  gettext-0.19.8.1-5 not returning when msgstr is multibyte

    Posted Tue November 24, 2020 11:41 AM
    Hello,

    Having an issue with gettext returning the sent msgid when the msgstr is multibyte (Chinese, Japanese, and/or Korean), all others are working well. Please see the below paste bin from output.

    This is on 7100-05-05-1939.

    Thank you,

    Hi Michael.

    Let us know what encoding the .mo file is having. Please share the .mo file with us.
    The message file being used is from any open source package or is it generated from some other source ?

    Hello,

    .po has "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n" and "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" .
    .mo is made from .po using msgfmt -o messages.mo messages.po .

    Worked around the issue by using Python rather than executing gettext.

    Thank you,
    Michael
