msginit email address command line argument?

gettext, internationalization, linux

Solution

Your problem is due to `msginit` using `/usr/lib64/gettext/user-email` to prompt for your email. If you instead run `msginit` with the `--no-translator` option it should assume it's being run non-interactively and not prompt you:

msginit --no-translator -l es_MX -o spanish.po -i hellogt.pot

Problem

msginit prompts for an email address. Is there a way to tell msginit what email address to use without being prompted for it such as a command line argument? ``` cat >hellogt.cxx <<EOF // hellogt.cxx #include <libintl.h> #include <locale.h> #include <iostream> int main (){ setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); bindtextdomain("hellogt", "./"); textdomain( "hellogt" ); std::cout << gettext("hello, world!") << std::endl; } EOF g++ -ohellogt hellogt.cxx xgettext -d hellogt -o hellogt.pot hellogt.cxx msginit -l es_MX -o spanish.po -i hellogt.pot ```
