gettext order

gettext order

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Hello,

Tomorrow Monday I will probably gettextize the help of the all
grub_register_command.

Is it all right?

In general, I would translate mainly all grub_printf that has user
messages. I will do it in a different patch set than the
grub_register_command.

From the utilities, something that would be good to priorize?

If you see a good spot where all messages should be translated avoid
adding _ to it. Function calls are expensive. Rather than that add
gettext call in callee and register a new gettext keyword for .pot
generation.

Uhm I agree, but I'm not sure if grub_register_command() would be such
spot.  Are we sure we want to translate _all_ of its messages?

I think that, barring the obvious strings we'd like to translate (which
you already spotted), utilities should be the top priority.  The other
non-util strings need to be considered carefully, there's no hurry about
them.

We don't have to translate all of arguments. All depends on how we
declare gettext keywords
