Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 7
Release Status: release
Description:
The translated versions of the command synopsises (short_doc)
are never used.
The full description (long_doc) does appear in translated
form.
Repeat-By:
LC_ALL=sv_SE.utf8 bash -c 'help unalias'
This will write a first line:
unalias: unalias [-a] name [name ...]
which is the English form. But the Swedish translation does
contain a translation:
msgid "unalias [-a] name [name ...]"
msgstr "unalias [-a] namn [namn ...]"
Fix:
Unless I'm mistaken, this output comes from the function
help_builtin in builtins/help.def which has the code:
printf ("%s: %s\n", name, shell_builtins[i].short_doc);
That would need to send the short_doc to gettext() before
printing:
printf ("%s: %s\n", name, _(shell_builtins[i].short_doc));
Similarily for other uses of short_doc. (I.e. in
show_manpage() and show_builtin_command_help() (twice) in
builtins/help.def, and in builtin_usage() in
builtins/common.c. It is used in shell.c too, but there the
original string is to be used.)
