Hi Mindaugas,
hb_i18n_gettext() return original text if lookup failed, so, it will return

No, it is IMO perfect this way, empty strings are rare.

LOCAL aText_Basic := {;
I_( "Syntax:" ),;
I_( "" ),;
I_( " hbmk [options] [<script[s]>]
<src[s][.prg|.c|.obj|.o|.rc|.res|.pot|.hbl]>" ),;
I_( "" ),;
I_( "Options:" ) }

Of course you can swap I_( "" ) to I_( " " ) or "", but it makes source less
consistent.
Anyway there are other solution for this specific case, but a fatal warning
is too heavy
here IMO.
Brgds,
