[bug-gettext] [bug #50920] support Javascript template strings in xgettext

[Vaclav Slavik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #50920 (project gettext):

This is a little bit more serious than simply not extracting such strings - it
sometimes breaks parsing of the JS file even if a template string is not used
in connection with gettext. As an example, feeding xgettext this file:


window.location.href = `/${path}`;    
_('hello');


will not extract "hello" (a normal string) or any subsequent _() calls simply
because a template string with / in it happened before:


$ xgettext -o- x.js
x.js:3: warning: RegExp literal terminated too early
$
