Hello,
I have some questions about l18n of standart utilities: cp, rm and
etc.:
1. What do you think about quantity of arrays for local messages?
a) one - char** messages:
fprintf(stderr, "%s", messages[0]);
fprintf(stdin, "%s", messages[1]);
warn("%s", messages[2]);
b) two - char** error_messages, info_messages:
fprintf(stderr, "%s", error_messages[0]);
fprintf(stdin, "%s", messages[0]);
warn("%s", messages[1]);
c) three - char** error_messages, warning_messages, info_messages:
fprintf(stderr, "%s", error_messages[0]);
fprintf(stdin, "%s", messages[0]);
warn("%s", warning_messages[0]);
d) more, more, more ...
2) What about l18n this part of code:
/*******/
#define YESNO "(y / n)";
printf("Input your choice %s: " YESNO);
answer = getchar();
if( answer == 'y' || answer == 'Y'){
...
}
else{
...
}
/**********/
a) First method:
/*******/
#define YESNO "(y / n)";
printf("%s %s: " messages[0], YESNO);
answer = getchar();
if( answer == 'y' || answer == 'Y'){
...
}
else{
...
}
/**********/
b) Second method:
/*******/
#define YESNO messages[1];
printf("%s %s: " messages[0], messages[1]);
scanf("%s", answer);
if( ! strcmp(answer, messages[2]) || ! strncmp(answer, messages[3])){
...
}
else{
...
}
/**********/
c) Anything else?
3) Is any common rules for l18n? For example about name of file with
messages, sequence order of messages in file (alphbetical list, order
in src, ...) and a kind of.
