Spaces in textdomain

Post by Atreides »

I was wondering if having spaces like:

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-Extended Armies Era
causes problems?

Can you run wmlgettext on it and see what turns up?

According to the documentation, spaces are invalid. The only valid characters are letters, numbers, underscore and dash.

Thanks both. Running wmlgettext caused it to abort after doing 1 file. I see from the docs that spaces are indeed illegal. I'm on Linux so I'm already "space averse" (hehe) but naturally I'm dealing with someone elses work here. Oh well easy fix I think.
