Description

make-messages.py doesn't work well for input file containing UTF-8 strings to translate when you have multiple javascript files to translate

cd project_dir
copy test.js to template directory
# run make_messages
# python /opt/django-0.97_pre7403/django/bin/make-messages.py -a -d djangojs
processing language fr

everything is fine

Problem occures when you have multiple JS file to translate:

copy test2.js to template directory
# run make_messages
# python /opt/django-0.97_pre7403/django/bin/make-messages.py -a -d djangojs
processing language fr
errors happened while running xgettext on test2.js
pl:2: warning: The following msgid contains non-ASCII characters.
               This will cause problems to translators who use a character encoding
               different from yours. Consider using a pure ASCII msgid instead.
               déjeuner

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [7473]) Fixed #7030 -- Handle extraction of UTF-8 messages from Javascript files.

This leads to more duplicated code in make-messages.py, but this is just a
holdover for the immediate problem until we merge make-messages into
management/.
