I'd like to suppress "The amount of entries differ between files: Y is not X" where Y > X, when invoking po4a-translate.

Here is the use case:

  1. po4a-updatepo allows updating one PO file with many original (untranslated) files, e. g. po4a-updatepo -f xhtml -M utf8 -m _site/en/about.html -m _site/en/archive.html -m _site/en/contact.html -m _site/en/index.html -m _site/en/posts/2015-08-12-spqr.html -m _site/en/posts/2015-10-07-rosa-rosa-rosam.html -m _site/en/posts/2015-11-28-carpe-diem.html -m _site/en/posts/2015-12-07-tu-quoque.html -p po/ru.po.
  2. Then I use po4a-tranlate to translate individual files. I think this is the only way to do so (according to the man page). Anyway, in my case I can only translate one file at a time.
  3. Unfortunately, the number of to-be-translated strings in the original file is much less than in the PO file. Hence the confusing message.

Having a single PO file for many original (untranslated) file is a very useful feature for translators (more context), also it de-duplicates common strings in many files, especially useful in static WWW sites where each page follows the same template with headers, footers, etc.

Example PO:

#. type: Attribute 'lang' of: <html>
#: _site/en/about.html:2 _site/en/archive.html:2 _site/en/contact.html:2
#: _site/en/index.html:2 _site/en/posts/2015-08-12-spqr.html:2
#: _site/en/posts/2015-10-07-rosa-rosa-rosam.html:2
#: _site/en/posts/2015-11-28-carpe-diem.html:2
#: _site/en/posts/2015-12-07-tu-quoque.html:2
msgid "en"
msgstr "ru"
#...
#. type: Content of: <html><body><main><h1>
#: _site/en/archive.html:23

msgstr "Архив"
#...
#. type: Content of: <html><body><footer>
#: _site/en/about.html:33 _site/en/archive.html:49 _site/en/contact.html:28
#: _site/en/index.html:59 _site/en/posts/2015-08-12-spqr.html:41
#: _site/en/posts/2015-10-07-rosa-rosa-rosam.html:43
#: _site/en/posts/2015-11-28-carpe-diem.html:41
#: _site/en/posts/2015-12-07-tu-quoque.html:43
msgid ""

msgstr ""

Hello Igor, thanks for this feedback.
I'm wondering: is this warning really a warning, or does it prevent the work from being done? In the former case, this should be fixed ASAP, but in the latter case, this is probably less critical.

Thanks,

Oh, it is just a warning, it does not prevent translation.

Hello,
sorry for the very long delay here. My personal advise would be to go for the full po4a binary instead of using po4a-translate. The later script is much more limited indeed.

I'm closing this issue because the more I think about it, the more I dislike the idea of removing a warning that is useless but harmless in the scenario that you describe while it could be very useful in other scenarios (ie, when there is actually an issue).

Out of curiosity, do you know of any such scenario?

And after all, I think there is not just inconvenience, but internal inconsistency: there is a legit scenario when data (translations) is created and another legit scenario when the data is used, but the first causes a warning in the second :)

Hello,

I think that this can happen when you use the wrong pot file for your translation, couldn't it?

There will be much louder errors like "only 5% translated, rejecting", won't it? :)
