Re: [gentoo-dev] So now that we have --quiet-build as default, can we talk about a forced LC_MESSAGES=C again?

Google Translate is about your only option here, Actually the translation already exists in /usr/share/locale/ and just needs to be looked up, so it appears not entirely impractical. Still, probably not worth the effort. assuming you have the same version of the package issuing the error message installed locally, and you haven't restricted your LINGUAS in anyway (so you have them all installed), then yes ;) -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Google Translate is about your only option here, and somehow I doubt it is up to parsing build logs. Hand translation could work if we increases the understaffed bug wrangling team to the size of the UN... :) Rich

Just think of looking into a large build log, checking that the error: should now be Fehler: or something in an altogether different script you can't even read, and then searching backwards through the log to find the first occurrence. Do the same for No such file or directory, undefined reference and so on - the things that most commonly get translated. Or do you mean automate translation whenever something is attached to a bug report? I think we'd be doing things the wrong way round then, but feel free to donate the machine translation server farm to do it. Also, make sure the result uses the same (original) strings and that you don't get funny google translate surprises. jer
