Add format tag to .pot: #, java-format about scala-xgettext HOT 5 OPEN

scala-xgettext doesn't enforce a specific text format.
It only extracts texts.
Users can freely choose format they want.

Hmm, if you don't add format tags - then how do you make tools like Poedit report errors like the following?

Note that I'm using #, c-format - the #, java-format was the wrong tag to use for printf-style format strings.

Do you have a proposal how to automatically add that info?

from scala-xgettext.

Perhaps an optional tag parameter at the end of the method name configuration?

scalacOptions += "-P:xgettext:t:tf:c-format"

This would cause all strings extracted from calls to the tf method to get the #, c-format tag.

I guess that's the best we can do.
