Thank you for your submission. The VAX port is maintained. The breakage of wording is clearly fallout from commit 80529cc0d0b0 back in 2005, an obvious copy-pasto. There are also manual entries missing for most of these options, and the existing entry for `-mg' uses non-standard nomenclature. > I made sure to update the translation files, using an on-line translator > for languages which I can`t really read/write on my own.

As Mike has observed we never make changes to the translation files ourselves: there's the translation team that makes the necessary updates. > Copyright assignment to the FSF, yadda yadda yadda... all the usual. It's not clear to me from your statement whether you do or do not have a copyright assignment in place with the FSF, please clarify for the sake of future submissions. Alternatively you can contribute under the DCO; see the MAINTAINERS file in the top-level directory for details. Anyway your change is small enough (and you haven't contributed any previous ones on behalf of yourself) to be legally insignificant and therefore it does not require a copyright assignment or a DCO at this point. Therefore I have committed your patch with the changes to .po files stripped and some adjustments to the change heading and description. Please note that we use the imperative mood for the change heading and a change description is also required. We require a proper ChangeLog entry as well and we have a couple of rules as to the formatting of that part of the submission. See <https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#patches> for details. I have also fixed the wording of the manual entry for `-mg' and added the missing entries for the remaining options; here's the resulting mini patch series: <https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-May/652769.html>, which I have now applied. Thank you for your contribution. Maciej
