Hi @vangheem

I am using i18ndude for extract the i18n strings using a bash script and when executes show the bellow error:

There was an error processing ../templates/documentviewer.pt

I am trying to remplace all special characters with ASCII codes into documentviewer.pt file is included in three times the bellow line:

<span class="required" i18n:attributes="title" title="Required" style="color: #f00;">■</span>

What kind of special character are you want represent?

Hi @macagua ,

just note that existing msgids are already in the collective.document.pot file at https://github.com/collective/collective.documentviewer/tree/master/collective/documentviewer/locales but I agree that using i18ndude to generate the pot could ease translations management...
