New submission from Jérémie Detrey <jeremie.det...@altu.fr>: Dear all,
There are a few strings in the `argparse` module which are not translatable through the `gettext` API. Some have already been reported: - the "--version" help text at 3.9/Lib/argparse.py:1105 (reported in issue 16786, fixed by PR 12711); - the "default" help text at 3.9/Lib/argparse.py:697 (reported in 33775, fixed by PR 12711). However, some others remain: - the "default" help text for `BooleanOptionalAction` at 3.9/Lib/argparse.py:878 (which, incidentally, will be duplicated when used with `ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter`); - the "argument %(argument_name)s: %(message)s" error message at 3.9/Lib/argparse.py:751; - the formatted section heading at 3.9/Lib/argparse.py:225: if the heading itself is translatable, the string "%(heading)s:" is not. More precisely, the colon right after the heading might also require localization, as some languages (e.g., French) typeset colons with a preceding non-breaking space (i.e., "%(heading)s :"). (Okay, I'll admit that this is nitpicking!) I'll submit a pull request with proposed fixes for these strings. Kind regards, Jérémie. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 399216 nosy: jdetrey priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [argparse] Missing translations type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44865> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
