Re: [PATCH/RFC v4 1/7] Add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason:

+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (use \"git rm --cached <file>...\" to unstage)"));
+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (use \"git add/rm <file>...\" as appropriate to mark resolution)"));
+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#"));

This is a multi-line string, and should be translated as such.

The trailing "#" should either be part of the translated multi-line string, 
or be added explicitely, and untranslated, at the end.

+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (use \"git rm --cached <file>...\" to unstage)"));
+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#"));

Determine how to handle the trailing "#" as above.

+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (use \"git add/rm <file>...\" to update what will be committed)"));
+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (use \"git checkout -- <file>...\" to discard changes in working directory)"));

Multi-line.

+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)"));
+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#"));

Trailing "#".

+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#   (use \"git %s <file>...\" to include in what will be committed)"), how);
+	color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, c, _("#"));

Ditto.

+	case 1: how = _("both deleted:"); break;
+	case 2: how = _("added by us:"); break;
+	case 3: how = _("deleted by them:"); break;
+	case 4: how = _("added by them:"); break;
+	case 5: how = _("deleted by us:"); break;
+	case 6: how = _("both added:"); break;
+	case 7: how = _("both modified:"); break;
	}
-	color_fprintf(s->fp, c, "%-20s%s\n", how, one);
+	color_fprintf(s->fp, c, _("%-20s%s\n"), how, one);

does color_fprintf() gracefully handle cutting text for multi-byte 
encodings, and text width? Otherwise I can see this bite us for all 
non-ASCII locales in general (if long translated are needed), and 
for CJK locales in particular (for variable character widths).

-		color_fprintf(s->fp, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), "%s", extra.buf);
+		color_fprintf(s->fp, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), _("%s"), extra.buf);

Should not be in _()

-	fprintf(s->fp, "\n");
+	fprintf(s->fp, _("\n"));

Ditto.

+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), _("#"));
+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), _("# Initial commit"));
+		color_fprintf_ln(s->fp, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), _("#"));

Either a multi-line string, or untranslate the "#"s.
