Question
msginit prompts for an email address. Is there a way to tell msginit what email address to use without being prompted for it such as a command line argument?
cat >hellogt.cxx <<EOF
// hellogt.cxx
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <iostream>
int main (){
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain("hellogt", "./");
textdomain( "hellogt" );
std::cout << gettext("hello, world!") << std::endl;
}
EOF
g++ -ohellogt hellogt.cxx
xgettext -d hellogt -o hellogt.pot hellogt.cxx
msginit -l es_MX -o spanish.po -i hellogt.pot
Solution
Your problem is due to msginit
using /usr/lib64/gettext/user-email
to prompt for your email. If you instead run msginit
with the --no-translator
option it should assume it's being run non-interactively and not prompt you:
msginit --no-translator -l es_MX -o spanish.po -i hellogt.pot
