Defaults to ‘R-pkgname.pot’ where
pkgname is the basename of ‘dir’.version defaults the version number of the currently running
R, and bugs to "bugs.r-project.org".xgettext, a list of objects of class "xgettext"
(which has a print method), one per source file that
potentially contains translatable strings.For xngettext, a list of objects of class "xngettext",
which are themselves lists of length-2 character strings.
gettext, gettextf, stop,
warning, and message, as it is by the internal code that
passes strings for translation. We look to see if these functions were called with domain = NA
and if so omit the call if asCall = TRUE: note that the
call might contain a call to gettext which would be visible if
asCall = FALSE.
xgettext2pot calls xgettext and then xngettext,
and writes a PO template file for use with the GNU Gettext
tools. This ensures that the strings for simple translation are
unique in the file (as GNU Gettext requires), but does not do so
for ngettext calls (and the rules are not stated in the Gettext
manual, but msgfmt complains if there is duplication between
the sets.).
If applied to the base package, this also looks in the ‘.R’ files in ‘R_HOME/share/R’.
update_pkg_po() which calls xgettext2pot().
