How to I mark an empty translation (msgstr) as translated in po gettext files?
gettext, po
Solution
As this seems to be a big design flaw in the gettext specification, I decided to use: `Unicode Character 'ZERO WIDTH SPACE' (U+200B)` inside these fields.
Problem
I found that is the translation for a string (msgid) is empty all gettext tools will consider the string as untranslated. Is there a workaround for this? I do want to have an empty string as the translation for this item.
