NAME¶
i18nspector - checking tool for gettext POT, PO and MO files
SYNOPSIS¶
i18nspector [options] file [file …]
DESCRIPTION¶
i18nspector is a tool for checking translation templates (POT), message catalogues (PO) and compiled message catalogues (MO) files for common problems. These files are used by the GNU gettext translation functions and tools in many different development environments.
OPTIONS¶
- -l lang, --language lang
- Assume this language. lang should be a 2- or 3-letter ISO 639 language code, possibly followed by underscore and a 2-letter ISO 3166 territory code.
- --unpack-deb
- Allow unpacking Debian (binary or source) packages.
- -j n, --jobs n
- Use n processes in parallel. n can be a positive integer, or auto to determine the number automatically. The default is to use only a single process.
- -h, --help
- Show help message and exit.
- --version
- Show version information and exit.
OUTPUT FORMAT¶
The following format is used for all the reported problems:
code: file: tag [extra]
where:
- code is a letter indicating type of the message: E (error), W (warning), I (informative message), or P (pedantic message);
- tag is a name of the problem that was discovered;
- extra can contain additional information about the problem.
TAGS¶
ancient-date¶
The date refers to the time before the first GNU gettext release. As such, it's extremely unlikely to be correct.

arithmetic-error-in-plural-forms¶
Computing a plural form value triggers division by zero or integer overflow. This normally indicates an error in the plural form expression.

arithmetic-error-in-unused-plural-forms¶
Computing a plural form value triggers division by zero or integer overflow. (But there are no translated messages which use plural forms.) This normally indicates an error in the plural form expression.

broken-encoding¶
Header fields and messages contained by this file couldn't be decoded to Unicode. The usual cause of this is incorrect or missing encoding declaration.
Note that in the absence of encoding declaration, i18nspector assumes ASCII encoding.

c-format-string-argument-type-mismatch¶
There's a type mismatch between a C format argument in msgid and the corresponding format argument in msgid_plural; or between a C format argument in msgstr and msgid; or between a C format argument in msgstr[N] and corresponding msgid or msgid_plural.
References:

c-format-string-excess-arguments¶
A C format string for msgid consumes more arguments than msgid_plural; or msgstr consumes more arguments than msgid; or msgstr[N] consumes more arguments than corresponding msgid or msgid_plural.
References:
Severity, certainty:
c-format-string-missing-arguments¶
A C format string for msgid consumes fewer arguments than msgid_plural; or msgstr consumes fewer arguments than msgid; or msgstr[N] consumes fewer arguments than corresponding msgid or msgid_plural.
Note that in some languages, the commonly used Plural-Forms expression evaluates to the same value for n=1 and n=21, n=31, and so on. Take this Serbian translation for example:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2; ... msgid "one byte" msgid_plural "%d bytes" msgstr[0] "%d bajt" msgstr[1] "%d bajta" msgstr[2] "%d bajtova"
Here %d should not be replaced with the spelled-out form jedan. Either %d should be kept, or the Plural-Forms expression should be amended, so that there is a special case for n=1:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=4; plural=n==1 ? 3 : n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2 ... msgid "one byte" msgid_plural "%d bytes" msgstr[0] "%d bajt" msgstr[1] "%d bajta" msgstr[2] "%d bajtova" msgstr[3] "jedan bajt"

Severity, certainty:
c-format-string-non-portable-conversion¶
A C format string uses a conversion specified or length modifier, for which a more portable replacement exists:
- For integer conversions (%d, %i, %o, %u, %x, and %X), use the ll length modifier instead of L or q.
- For floating-point conversions (%a, %A, %e, %E, %f, %F, %g, and %G), don't use the l length modifier.
- Use the z length modifier instead of Z.
- Use %lc instead of %C.
- Use %ls instead of %S.

Severity, certainty:
c-format-string-redundant-flag¶
A C format string includes a redundant character flag. Either it's a duplicate, or it has no effect:
- The + flag overrides the space flag.
- The - flag overrides the 0 flag.
- If a precision is given, the 0 flag has no effect on integer conversions (%d, %i, %o, %u, %x, and %X).

codomain-error-in-plural-forms¶
Either a plural form value is outside the declared range, or some values within the declared range can never be reached. This normally indicates an error in the plural form expression.

stray-previous-msgid¶
The message entry contains annotations about previous untranslated string (#| msgid ...), even though the message is not marked as fuzzy. These annotations are only useful for fuzzy messages, and should be removed when unfuzzying.

Severity, certainty:
trailing-junk-in-plural-forms¶
The Plural-Forms header field contains unexpected text after the plural expression.
GNU gettext runtime ignores such trailing junk, but other header parsers might be less liberal in what they accept.
Severity, certainty:
translation-in-template¶
The PO template file contains a translated message.
Severity, certainty:
unable-to-determine-language¶
i18nspector was unable to determine language of this file. Absence of this information will prevent it from performing further checks.
Severity, certainty:
unexpected-flag-for-header-entry¶
An unexpected flag is associated with the header entry. The only flag that makes sense for the header entry is fuzzy.

Severity, certainty:
unknown-encoding¶
This file declares an encoding that couldn't be recognized by i18nspector. It might be a typo. Absence of encoding information will prevent i18nspector from performing further checks.
Severity, certainty:
unknown-file-type¶
File format of this file couldn't be recognized. It might be a bug in i18nspector.
Severity, certainty:
unknown-header-field¶
The header field name is unknown to i18nspector. It might be a typo or a capitalization error (header field names are case-sensitive).

unrepresentable-characters¶
The declared encoding cannot represent all characters commonly used in this language. This is a strong indication that the declared encoding is incorrect.
Severity, certainty:
unusual-character-in-header-entry¶
The header entry contains an unusual character. This is usually an indication of an encoding problem, such as:
- using ISO 2022 escape sequences, or
- using UTF-8 despite declaring an 8-bit encoding.

Severity, certainty:
unusual-character-in-translation¶
One of the translated messages contains an unusual character. This is usually an indication of an encoding problem, such as:
- using ISO 2022 escape sequences, or
- using UTF-8 despite declaring an 8-bit encoding.

Severity, certainty:
unusual-unused-plural-forms¶
The Plural-Forms declaration is incorrect (or unusual), according to i18nspector's linguistic data. (But there are no translated messages which use plural forms.)
