Hi, For language that is different from English-like syntax words ordering, such as Japanese, we've got strange messages for Entering directory `...' and Leaving directory `...' It looks like the following for now (in romaji, actually Kana/Kanji) Hairimasu Direkutori `...' Demasu Direkutori `...' It is very strange Japanese. It should be: Direkutori `...' ni Hairimasu Direkutori `...' kara Demasu However, current make code doesn't allow us to do such translation. This problem can be fixed by the attached patch. (make 3.79.1) Thanks, UKAI Fumitoshi --- main.c.orig Sun Sep 17 04:37:49 2000 +++ main.c Sun Sep 17 04:42:33 2000 @@ -2795,7 +2795,6 @@ int entering; { static int entered = 0; - char *msg = entering ? _("Entering") : _("Leaving"); /* Print nothing without the flag.
