Re: Emacs po-mode help request

[Jean-Christophe Helary <brandelune@gmail.com>]

Jean-Philippe,

I am putting the gettext list in Cc since the po-mode comes from there.
Also Bruno Haible is active on traduc.org and he probably can help too.

I have checked the po-mode+ code and indeed the po-auto-replace-revision-date function from po-mode is overridden by po-auto-update-header, which does seem to update the following fields:

"PO-Revision-Date"
"Last-Translator"
"Language-Team"
"X-Generator"

There is a setting for po-mode+ that you can modify in the Emacs customization:
(defcustom po-auto-update-header t
  "*Automatically update the header.  Value is nil, t, or ask."
  :type '(choice (const nil)
		 (const t)
		 (const ask))
  :group 'po)

So, maybe instead of trying to modify the code, you could first install po-mode+.el and then make sure it is activated?
