Accents with po-mode

Accents with po-mode

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe]

Hi,

In PO mode, when I enter an accent (é è), when I end my typing (ctrl-c 
c), it is converted into \x0153 or other kind of code. AN idea why? My 
po file is utf8.

Thanks for your help

Regards

Which version of emacs is this? Also, how are you entering the
accents? I guess not with an emacs input method, since those donʼt
require C-c c.

You could try one of the many emacs input methods, eg

C-u C-\ french-prefix RET

lets you enter é by typing 'e

In PO mode, you need to do Enter to open a string to transalte, then 
translate,
then ctrl-c c to exit.

The problem appears if I open Emacs in tty or under a graphical 
terminal. c-u c-\ says that I use latin-1-prefix.

Curious. 'e writes 'e, and é writes \351

I guess a recent update in my Debian Sid gives a problem but...

If we dont find any solution here I will report a bug

What is the value returned by terminal-coding-system on your system?
And what is your locale (the value of environment variables LC_ALL or
LANG)?

LC_ALL and LANG are fr_FR.UTF-8

Best regards

And what is the value of buffer-file-coding-system of the buffer where
you have the PO mode turned on?

Both give the result. c-x RET t says: "coding system for terminal 
display": nil

c-x RET f gives: "coding system for saving file" (default: utf-8-unix)

That seems wrong in the TTY case.

OK, so what version of PO mode are you using, and where can one get
it?  Also, what PO file are you editing in this case?

And finally, if you go to that \351 character and type "C-u C-x =",
what does Emacs show in the buffer it pops up?

I use the gettext-el 0.19.8.1 package from Debian sid.

I attach the PO file I am submitted.

Char: é (233, #o351, #xe9, file ...) point=3 of 2140 (0%) column=2

So Emacs shows the correct character in the buffer popped up by
"C-u C-x =", but it shows \351 for the same character in the buffer
where you edit the PO file?

And btw, why does it say "point=3"? are you inserting this character
in the commentary at the beginning of the PO file?

Indeed

Yes, for this test. I get the same result in a string, but to make the 
test easier I did it in the commentary area

Interesting

So please start Emacs anew, and show all the commands you type to
reproduce this problem, starting from visiting the PO file you edit,
and ending with whatever you do to insert é which displays as \351.

Actually, I think I know what happens: the buffer in which you edit
the PO file is a unibyte buffer.

So I suggest to replace CHARSET in this line:

  "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"

with

  "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"

then save the buffer and visit the file again.  Now these problems
should go away.

oh marevelous! That is it! Many thanks! I did not think the content of 
the PO file could have a consequence about the buffer behavior in Emacs. 
The problem is now fixed, many thanks!
