Hi, the gcc.pot file currently contains more than 12000 messages to be translated, which is a very high number. Many of these messages are diagnostics, and they can be categorized as follows:
* errors in user programs, reported via error () * additional info for internal errors, reported via error () * internal errors, reported via gfc_internal_error () * others In my opinion, there is no point in having internal error messages translated, since their only purpose is to be sent back to the GCC developers, instead of being interpreted and acted upon by the GCC user. By not translating the internal errors, the necessary work for translators can be cut down by several hundred messages. Therefore the internal errors should not be translated at all. https://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html#Diagnostics currently mentions a few ways of emitting diagnostics, but there is no way to produce untranslated diagnostics. Therefore I'd like to have a new function error_no_i18n that is used instead of error for nonfatal internal errors, like this: @code{error_no_i18n} is for diagnostics that are printed before invoking internal_error. They are not translated. (I don't care about the exact function name, though. :)) Regards, Roland
