@@ -10,6 +10,14 @@ Version 0.18 - January 2008 this field. Additionally, msgmerge fills in this new field by looking at the 'Language-Team' field (if the --lang option is not given). +* xgettext and PO file format: + For messages with plural forms, programmers can inform the translators + about the range of possible values of the numeric argument, like this: + /* xgettext: range: 0..15 */ + This information 'range: 0..15' is stored in the PO file as a flag attached + to the message. Translators can produce better translations when they know + that the numeric argument is small. + * msgmerge is up to 10 times faster when the PO and POT files are large. This speedup was contributed by Ralf Wildenhues. |
