However, there is a difference in whether %n$ is in the code or just in the translations: When it is not in the code, Git can be made to work on a platform that does not support it by compiling with NO_GETTEXT. When it is in the code, that won't be possible anymore. I don't know whether there are any platforms that do not support %n$, though. -- Hannes
