Follow-up Comment #2, bug #50920 (project gettext):
You might be misunderstanding my motivation for filing this bug report.
Believe me I know the problems of format strings getting mangled by
translators no matter the programming language, so that's not what the bug
report was about
However, Javascript's interpolated strings are not supported in xgettext at
all, even if you use only simple variable names or no interpolation at all:
echo '_(`hello`)' | xgettext - --language=javascript -o -
I think xgettext should recognize _(`hello`) as a string marked for
translation, even if it is bad practice to use complicated interpolation
expressions in it.
