lconvert misses something when merging two *.ts files, depending on the order of the command line
-
The command line:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/lconvert --verbose -i gui_jp.ts common_gui_jp.ts -o qa_jp.ts
makes me a *.ts file, named qa_jp.ts, which contains a particular line. I prove this by grepping:
> grep "Make a copy of current %1" *.ts
> common_gui_jp.ts:3089: <source>Make a copy of current %1.</source>
> qa_jp.ts:4233: <source>Make a copy of current %1.</source>Yes, there it is, in both the original common_gui_jp.ts and the new combined qa_jp.ts
If I repeat with the command line slightly different:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/lconvert --verbose -i gui_jp.ts common_gui_jp.ts -o qa_jp.ts
and then grep again:
> grep "Make a copy of current %1" *.ts
> common_gui_jp.ts:3089: <source>Make a copy of current %1.</source>It is only in the original. However, lots and lots of lines that are in common_gui_jp.ts are found in the new qa_jp.ts file, so clearly lconvert is not outright skipping the file.
Does anyone know of some reason lconvert might choose to skip particular lines when merging multiple *.ts files?

Hi,
What is the difference between both call to convert ?
-
Oops. I got that wrong :)
The first line is:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/lconvert --verbose -i gui_jp.ts common_gui_jp.ts -o qa_jp.ts
The second line is
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/lconvert --verbose -i common_gui_jp.ts gui_jp.ts -o qa_jp.ts
The filenames "common_gui_jp.ts" and "gui_jp.ts" are switched around.

Then indeed, it looks like the parsing does something fishy. Can you create two minimal ts files that shows the behavior ?
