PO File Format

gskoli has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi to all,
Well i am using po file for language translation
In that msgid & msgstr uses Double quote
Now problem is that my Message contains double quote ,
I have used backslash as escape character but still it is not working ,
e.g. msgid "You cant Take \"This\" action "
msgstr ""
Same thing is not working in Javascript
In alert message it is not translating Message
Thanks In advance ...

I have used backslash as escape character... Yes, that's the way it's normally done (if you're referring to GNU gettext .po files). Maybe we could help more if you could show a trimmed down but self-contained piece of code that demonstrates the problem, and lets us see what tools you're using...	[reply]

... not working What do you mean, it's not working? What commands are you executing, what results do you expect, and what results are you getting? Ref: PO files. What is the sound of Windows? Is it not the sound of a wall upon which people have smashed their heads... all the way through?	[reply]
