The problem comes when running msgfmt with -c option, which is for thorough=
=20
validation of messages, rather than PO syntax check only. And this option=20
is for validation only, MO files end up same with or without it being=20
used, so it makes no difference at runtime.

Translators using KBabel are not feeling adverse effects, as KBabel uses=20
msgfmt only for PO syntax check, and has its own higher level checks. But=20
any tool which does use msgfmt -c in the background, is going to trip=20
over.

Clearly this situation with mismarked c-format strings is something to be=20
corrected. I guess the right thing would be that one implements qt-format=20
in Gettext, but in the meantime, if Krzysztof can point to that discussion=
=20
about "no-c-format" (I wasn't able to dig it out)?
