Parsing of strings in script in cshtml files not working about i18n HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, it doesn't work with HTML attributes too. I think it is because of gettext parsing - it just ignores regular strings and all content in them.

Hey. How do you work with the issue of @_("translate") in html Attributes not extracting into the .pot and .po files?

@xianjin Your referenced fix is applied
@asapostolov Can you fork a unit test that fails this? I know this is a big ask.

Actually I've found the problem. It's like this - if you got:

<input id="id" value="@_("Hello!")" />

gettext won't extract it in the .po and .pot files (I think) because there isn't an HTML parser and if gettext finds text _() inside C# code comments or the insides of string - it ignores it.

I found a workaround here. You just have to write the HTML like that(@_ on a new line):

<input id="id" value="
@_("Hello!")" />

However this isn't pretty if you have to do it everywhere. A more beautiful solution that I decided to work with is use custom @html helpers like that:

@Html.Input(new { id="id", value=__("Hello") })
