Hello,

While (trying to) review changes to a large .po file with relatively few
strings changed I started looking for some way to show only the changed
strings, or at least find a way to easily spot them out.

Google searches have so far found only
http://markmail.org/thread/zyxbczw6haro6bmk#query:po%20diff+page:1+mid:a5ym75hv2vztkmde+state:results
which seems to talk about some GUI tool. My goal is to do this in text
only, because I want to paste (parts of) the output in e-mail.

Since I didn't find anything suitable I started patching together a .po
syntax highlighting that includes wdiff highlighting. The problem I'm
seeing right now is that wdiff will include " (double quotes) *inside*
its markers, thus breaking the .po highlighting:

[-#, fuzzy-]
msgid "Exit installer"
msgstr "Părăsește programul de [-instalare demonstrativ"-] {+instalare"+}

I was expecting something like this:

[-#, fuzzy-]
msgid "Exit installer"
msgstr "Părăsește programul de [-instalare demonstrativ-] {+instalare+}"

same thing happens with other punctuation:

[-#, fuzzy
#| msgid "Choose a locale:"-]
msgid "System locale:"
msgstr [-"Alegeți o localizare:"-] {+"Locale sistem:"+}

My guess is wdiff uses spaces as word delimiter, but the man page is
silent about this and web searches also didn't turn up anything.

Any hints or other ideas how to fix this?

Regards,
Andrei

Forgot to mention:

wdiff -l old.po new.po | less

would work, but it shows garbled output instead of the Romanian special
characters, if such characters are *inside* the changed string.

vimdiff with a small enough font (to fit everything on the screen) is
usable, but a solution to the wdiff problem would be much better.

Regards,
Andrei

Try doing msgconv --no-location on .po files before doing diff -du, you
could write script for that. It actually even makes sense to keep local
repositories all without location lines, so svn logs will be also clean.
