--- Comment #4 from Roland Illig <roland.illig at gmx dot de> ---
Just to clear up a potential misunderstanding. I do not want you to update
thousands of diagnostics. That would be a waste of time.

I only reported bugs for those diagnostics that I as the German translator did
not understand immediately.

Since the diagnostics are not documented anywhere else (like invoke.texi for
command-line options), my only additional source are the tests.

Having all the words from the diagnostic directly in the test would have the
additional benefit of being easier to read. Currently the test reads:

> namespace A
> {
>   enum class E { V };
> 
>   using E::V;        // { dg-error "name enumerator" }
> }

The word "name" could be a noun or a verb here. Since English is a very
ambiguous language, I cannot know that from the message alone. If the complete
diagnostic had been written here, the test would tell a self-contained story.
