Syntax highlighting and spell checker for Gettext in Vim

I just improved Vim’s syntax highlighting for po files. Besides the features introduced last year, this version is now able to correctly highlight XML tags beginning in one line and ending in the next one. Vim will now spell check the value of specific attributes: abbr, alt, content, summary, standby e title. (This list was retrieved from the translate-toolkit source code.)

Vim spell checking gettext file with xml tags

Spell check of translator comments wasn’t implemented, due to technical difficulties in stopping Vim from checking the header comments too.

For now, the file can be downloaded here. You’ll find the installation instructions in the vim.org page with previous versions. If everything goes well, Dwayne Bailey should send the new version to vim.org; the next step would be including it in Vim’s source code. Update: the file was uploaded to its vim.org page.

PS: Any chance Vim could ever have a open-tran.eu plugin like gtranslator? ;)

    [...] From now on, the Portuguese dictionary for Vim should be updated more readily, because of an improvement in the maintenance process. Instead of using a shell script (as I do for Aspell), I started using an AAP script and two diff files, like the ones available in Vim’s FTP site. This means Vim maintainer Bram Molenaar won’t have to convert my script to that files, simplifying the process. (See also: Syntax highlighting and spell checker for Gettext in Vim.) [...]
