PO_ICU format import unnecessarily escapes ICU formatted values about tolgee-platform HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey! This behaviour is actualy expected. The example_params.po file contains also sprintf params (e.g., %s, %d), and this message format was detected under the hood.

Are you encountering such issue with another file?

As a workaround you can use Tolgee CLI, or our single step import REST API endpoint. It enables you to force specific message format.

Docs for format option of the CLI: https://tolgee.io/tolgee-cli/project-configuration#format
Single step import endpoint docs: https://tolgee.io/api/do-import

Yes, the sprintf variables seem to be picked up and converted just fine. It might be a conflict of two formats being used simultaneously.

Another example is a .po file consisting of only one message in ICU format.

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: Tolgee 1.0.1\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: [email protected] \n"
"Language: de\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"

msgid "welcome"
msgstr "Willkommen, {name}"

Using the single-step endpoint with the PO_ICU format still gives the same result. The resulting translations ICU token is escaped.

Exporting the same translation with "format":"PO", "messageFormat:"ICU" however, results as correctly formatted message, same as the input.

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Language: de\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals = 2; plural = (n !== 1)\n"
"X-Generator: Tolgee\n"

msgid "welcome"
msgstr "Willkommen, {name}"

When I correct the translation value in UI to reflect that the {name} is a placeholder by removing ' around brackets. Then, the UI reflects that the value is a placeholder and the exported result is the same as before.

So I still think that the import adds unnecessary escape characters around ICU formatted value brackets, resulting in UI not displaying the value properly. The import should result in the final image, not the first one.

Hey, you're right the new example, you've provided seems like a bug. I have reproduced it 👍

Please let me look into that :)
