Hmm, I have on my TODO doing this sort of stuff also for pg_hba.conf parsing (and I think other places I don't recall right now). So +1 on the proposal itself. On backpatching the message changes, you are right that it creates extra work for translators. In most cases it's just removing a part of the string, so no sweat. I think the rest of the changes is creating the new context string, which is going to be a substring of something that's already translated, so msgmerge is probably going to pick it up as a fuzzy. On the whole, not a lot of work. So my vote goes for backpatching this change to 8.3. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
