FYI: Because there are several tools to parse FPC/Make/whatever output it is planned to tell fpc to always give english output and show the translated text in the messages window.

Ok, for once and for all, and please read up the following words loudly while reading them:

Never

Parse

Compiler

Messages!

It has always been communicated that the parsing of FPC output is a bad idea. The output is designed to be readbable for humans, not for computers. We want, and feel free to, have the options to change the text output of FPC completely.

If you don't want to use the compiler unit, feel free to design a protocol for more computer friendly messages.

It easier to change the message parser if you change it, than to design a protocol for more computer friendly messages.
