can we have pseudo locale support ? about gotext HOT 5 CLOSED

Exactly, it's just a tool that takes a language file and generates another by filling the values. This one belongs to a different package/tool.

Hi, not sure I'm following the proposal, could you describe it further?

from gotext.

ah we use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudolocalization during development to get a sense of i18n coverage without waiting for the actual translation (as we are in an incremental migration), right now I have to duplicate the english message file (our source language) and manually pseudo them for every new messages, while our FE i18n library will do the pseudolocalization for us, so I just thought it would be convenient if the gotext can provide such functionality out of box ;) (if I am not asking too much)

Are we talking about language file (.po) generation? Or the package returning random chars for every Get?

from gotext.

either way we can achieve the same result, the pseudo can be done either in the po generation time or runtime (Get), but it seems the xgotext only supports .pot and not per locale, so I guess you would prefer po generation to be done manually instead.
