From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:28:12 GMT Subject: [PATCH/RFC 06/17] gettext: localize the main git-init message Message-ID: <1283203703-26923-7-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1283203703-26923-1-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com> Change the git-init "Initialized empty Git repository" message and its variants to use gettext. This is one of the messages that could do with splitting up, I had a WIP patch to do that that began like this: const char *reinit_shared = _("Reinitialized existing shared Git repository in %s\n"); const char *init_shared = _("Initialized empty shared Git repository in %s\n"); const char *reinit_noshared = _("Reinitialized existing Git repository in %s\n"); const char *init_noshared = _("Initialized empty Git repository in %s\n"); But in the first round of gettextization I'm aiming to keep code changes to a minimum for ease of review. We can solicit input from translators about which messages that use too much sprintf-ing are troublesome, and change those later. Note that the TRANSLATORS comment doesn't use the usual Git style. This is because everything from "/* TRANSLATORS: " to "*/" will extracted as-is xgettext(1) and presented to translators, including newlines and leading "*"'s. There seems to be no way to change that, short of patching xgettext itself.
