Many thanks, Dave, for pointing us to these tools, I didn’t know them. When reading the man page I get the impression this tool doesn’t handle localisations of the original entries at all. Maybe I’m not understanding correctly, but it looks to me, all what this tool can do is to remove all the localisations once you try to fix a single colon in the original entry:
--set-name=NAME
Set the name (key Name) to NAME. If a name was already set, it will be overridden. Localizations of the old name will be removed
--set-generic-name=GENERIC-NAME
Set the generic name (key GenericName) to GENERIC-NAME. If a generic name was already set, it will be overridden. Localizations of the old generic name will be removed.
--set-comment=COMMENT
Set the comment (key Comment) to COMMENT. If a comment was already set, it will be overridden. Localizations of the old comment will be removed.
If this turns out to be true, this is not suitable at all. We need to keep the translated entries rather than removing them, when applying minor fixes to an original entry which don’t change its meaning, so all the translations are still fine.
