I'm a bit confused though as the previous implemented advice function in advice.c (the one I used for reference) doesn't seem to employ this... does this mean it's also not marked for translation? void detach_advice(const char *new_name) { const char fmt[] = "Note: checking out '%s'.\n\n" "You are in 'detached HEAD' state. <.........>Example:\n\n" " git checkout -b \n\n"; fprintf(stderr, fmt, new_name); } Cheers, Elena
