Suppress "The amount of entries differ between files: Y is not X" about po4a HOT 8 CLOSED

Shit, you're right :)

Hello Igor, thanks for this feedback.
I'm wondering: is this warning really a warning, or does it prevent the work from being done? In the former case, this should be fixed ASAP, but in the latter case, this is probably less critical.

Thanks,

Oh, it is just a warning, it does not prevent translation.

Hello,
sorry for the very long delay here. My personal advise would be to go for the full po4a binary instead of using po4a-translate. The later script is much more limited indeed.

I'm closing this issue because the more I think about it, the more I dislike the idea of removing a warning that is useless but harmless in the scenario that you describe while it could be very useful in other scenarios (ie, when there is actually an issue).

it could be very useful in other scenarios (ie, when there is actually an issue).

Out of curiosity, do you know of any such scenario?

And after all, I think there is not just inconvenience, but internal inconsistency: there is a legit scenario when data (translations) is created and another legit scenario when the data is used, but the first causes a warning in the second :)

Hello,

I think that this can happen when you use the wrong pot file for your translation, couldn't it?

There will be much louder errors like "only 5% translated, rejecting", won't it? :)
