--- Comment #2 from Roland Illig <roland.illig at gmx dot de> --- (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #1) > params should be considered as internal options When I read the above, I first thought: Yay, less strings for me to translate. Just exclude them from gcc.pot. But then I remembered that "internal compiler errors" have also made their way into gcc.pot. I don't see any benefit in translating internal errors, therefore I have requested to remove these internal errors from the translation; see bug 80055. Nothing has happened on this topic in the last 2 years. Therefore I guess this "internal" means the same as in "internal compiler error", and that everything internal should still be translated. There's a decision to make: either the internal stuff is really considered internal, in which case no translation is necessary and the text quality doesn't matter as well. Or, the word "internal" as used by the GCC project actually means "publicly visible" and therefore needs high-quality text.
