Hi,
I'm using Django on Windows and I run `python manage.py makemessages
--all` to create my *.po files. I'm using Windows and the comments before
the msgid look like:
{{{
#: .\accounts\models.py:85
msgid "username"
msgstr "nom d’utilisateur"
}}}
My fellow developer uses Linux and when he runs the same command on his
machine, the comments change (I'm not sure exactly but I think to `#:
accounts/models.py:85`). So we both can't work on the same files otherwise
the comments change all the time. Can you make all these comments be in
Linux format also on Windows? It will save many problems since then we can
work each on his machine, and the comments will not change. Also, I think
it's better to have a canonical format for the source files in *.po files
which do not depend on the developer's operating system.
Thanks,
Uri.

Comment:
Hello Uri! Thanks for your report. I understand your issue and I'm sorry
you are running into these discrepancies, but there is little to nothing
that Django can do. Django uses GNU gettext to generate translations files
(po files), so it's really up to the tool how the .po files are generated.
Having said that, I do see that there is a `postprocess_messages` helper
in the `makemessages` command
([https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/core/management/commands/makemessages.py#L128
see source]), but in order to evaluate a possible change in this logic, we
would need community consensus. To that effect, you could consider
starting a new conversation on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/i18n/14 Django Forum -
Internalization category], where you'll reach a wider audience and likely
get extra feedback.
I'll close the ticket for now, but if there is a community agreement for
this feature/change request, you are welcome to come back to the ticket
and point to the forum topic, so we can then re-open it. For more details,
please see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
features/#requesting-features the documented guidelines for requesting
features].
