Hi, As the German translator of coreutils, I fixed the indentation of the --help output today, for coreutils 8.31.90. While doing that, I noticed that the option "-z, --zero-terminated" is used by several programs that have different "native" indentation widths. Therefore their --help output looks inconsistent. The affected programs are: join shuf sort uniq. Could you perhaps give each of these programs its own message, properly indented to match the other options?
I also noticed that the --help and --version strings are only translated once, which is good as it saved me some boring work. But they are indented at a different width than the other options. Some of the programs add an empty line before the --help and --version lines, which looks ok. Several others do not add a line, which looks wrong. This should be consistent among all coreutils. In src/cat.c:115, the German translation for the first example takes 2 lines instead of 1. The second line should be aligned nicely with the first line, but there's no way to know beforehand how long the %s from the first line will be, since the program name may be prefixed with "g" or "gnu-" or pretty much any other string. What is the correct way of solving this problem? Roland
