For what it's worth, my objection is not just around the eyesore associated with gettext() calls (but yes, they are eyesores), it's also with the fact that tools like lint cannot see inside these calls and thus we get no format-string checking (though that could be fixed if someone wanted to; see 6765949. Further, it's not clear to me that developers are any more careful in wrapping new output calls with gettext() than they are in updating the .xcl file -- and if one fails to update the .xcl file, the result is needless translations, as opposed to *missing* translations. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
