Problem with "trans" and "blocktrans"

[Andre Hagenbruch]

Hi all,

I have two files with equal strings to translate, in the first file
with "trans" and in the second file with "blocktrans" and a plural form:

a.html:
{% trans 'My string' %}

b.html:
{% blocktrans count counter=mylist|length %}My string{% plural %}My
strings{% endblocktrans %}

and when I run "django-admin.py makemessages -l de" I get

django.po
#: templates/a.html:108
#: templates/b.html:3
msgid "My string"
msgstr ""

and not as I'd expect

django.po
#: templates/a.html:108
#: templates/b.html:3
msgid "My string"
msgid_plural "My strings"
msgstr[0] ""
msgstr[1] ""

I can reproduce this for similar structures in other files.
"blocktrans" strings that don't have "trans" equivalents in other
files correctly produce entries with plural forms in the .po file.
What's going wrong here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Andre

Hi Andre,

This is obviously a bug in the makemessages command. Could you please
open a ticket on Django bug tracker?

After some more tests, it seems rather to be a bug in msguniq (from
gettext package). I just reported the bug [1].

Nevertheless, you might still report the bug in Django, because we might
workaround it by giving a list of files to xgettext instead of running
msguniq on the concatenation of messages.

thanks for looking into this. I filed a bug report under
