Dealing with homonyms

[vitalybe]

In GNU gettext there is an option to use contexts to deal with homonyms.

How do I do that with angular-gettext?

[rubenv]

Not currently supported. Doesn't look all that hard too add though.

If I understand the page correctly, we'd need to add a translate-context attribute and take that into account.

+1 for this feature. Contexts is very useful.

I was also looking into implementing this plugin at our company project but this is a must have feature for us. Hope this gets implemented...

[gilinsky]

++votes for context support!

[pmaslov]

We too need it. We may even have to use symbolic names unless gettext style keys can be extended with context

Votes won't get a feature in, pull requests do :-)

If I'am in the right path with 2d80be1 I will proceed to update de documentation and prepare a pull request in the grunt tools to start retrieving the context aware translations from the .po.

I would also like to add the portuguese language and fix the getPlurals for pt-BR that are not correct. The rule should be n !== 1 -> plural instead of n>1 ( ;-) count=0 case) . I can make this change in a different pull request but it would save some trouble.

That should go in a separate issue. We also currently don't support language subcodes (need to add it really).

I've noticed you're changing the string catalog format. How will this work together with .po files?

Please submit a pull request, we'll continue reviewing it there.

I had assumed managing homonyms would just be based on the translation comment. For example "noun" or "verb" when translating "invoice". I now see that I was trying to use the comment like the context should be used.

At my work we have adopted angular-gettext for our application, but we need support for homonyms. Please let me know what I can do to help this feature along, I can take time to work on whatever is needed for this.

Library support for this is in a branch, initial tools work can be found here (thanks to @cristiano2lopes): rubenv/angular-gettext-tools#34

Next steps:

• Add tools support for contexts in directives (Support extracting translate-context from directives angular-gettext-tools#38) (covered by msgctxt extraction and compilation angular-gettext-tools#34)
• Add tools support for contexts in filters (Support extracting translate-context from plural filters angular-gettext-tools#39) (covered by msgctxt extraction and compilation angular-gettext-tools#34)
• Add documentation for translation contexts to the developer guide (Document translation contexts angular-gettext-website#4)

+1 Nice job guys. Appreciate the effort. Just started looking at this, and this feature would be really useful.
