05:03:10 <Kaligula> fell [translating source strings]: If I add a full stop to source string (e.g. "Make a copy of the current transaction" → "Make a copy of the current transaction.") do I have to add the full stop also to the `msgid "Make a copy of the current transaction"` in all *.po files?
05:04:10 <Simon> yes
05:04:35 <Simon> it might be possible to get some gettext tool to do it for you without making a mess of it
05:05:27 <Simon> the translations work by looking up the "msgid" and returning the "msgstr" for the language, so the msgid has to match
05:05:28 <Kaligula> I use Notepad++ with regexp for such things.
05:05:34 <Kaligula> thx
05:06:13 <Simon> what you might be able to do is get gettext to update the msgid for you, but it wouldn't update the msgstr so when you're updating those you may as well update the msgid at the same time
05:10:26 <Kaligula> I think it can be accomplished with regexp /msgid "(A string for correction)"\nmsgstr "(.*?)\.?"\n/ → msgid "\1."\nmsgstr "\2."\n

06:54:40 <chris> warlord: qofchoice.cpp could be removed except for the QOF_TYPE_CHOICE in gncAdress.c -- what does that do?
08:20:33 <warlord> Sorry, I honestly don't remember. I wrote that code 20 years ago.
08:20:48 <warlord> I'd have to take a look. Are there no comments about how it is used?
08:28:03 <chris> nopes... only it mimics some cpp class feature
08:30:25 <warlord> If I were to guess, it's a dropdown to allow choosing between specific choices. But honestly I don't recall and would need to see how it is used, or look at the code again.
08:30:46 *** fabior has joined #gnucash

18:11:09 <jralls> @tell chris QofChoice is thoroughly documented in https://code.gnucash.org/docs/STABLE/group__Choice.html.
18:11:09 <gncbot> jralls: The operation succeeded.
18:18:14 <jralls> @tell chris and while only gncAddress has a QOF_TYPE_CHOICE parameter, qof_choice functions are called in gncAddress, gncCustomer.c, gncInvoice.c, gncJob.c, and gncVendor.c.
18:18:14 <gncbot> jralls: The operation succeeded.

22:21:58 <chris> warlord: yes it's a GHT<char*,GHT<char*,GList*<char*>>>
22:21:58 <gncbot> chris: Sent 4 hours and 10 minutes ago: <jralls> QofChoice is thoroughly documented in https://code.gnucash.org/docs/STABLE/group__Choice.html.
22:21:59 <gncbot> chris: Sent 4 hours and 3 minutes ago: <jralls> and while only gncAddress has a QOF_TYPE_CHOICE parameter, qof_choice functions are called in gncAddress, gncCustomer.c, gncInvoice.c, gncJob.c, and gncVendor.c.
22:22:54 <chris> jralls: yes gncJob etc will populate the GHT but the GHT isn't ever queried. so why populate it?
22:23:32 <chris> unless I missed somewhere in gncAddress.c would query the GHT
22:27:58 <chris> there's no caller for qof_choice_check nor qof_choice_get_choices
22:31:33 <chris> so we could remove it except for gncAddress.c which states ADDRESS_OWNER needs QOF_TYPE_CHOICE
