I tried it myself with Finnbarr's script: The original script will print: ===== cut ===== ./plain/msg.sh Simple demonstration of ksh93 message translation Message locale is: en_US.UTF-8 Hello Goodbye Welcome David This string is not translated because it is not in the message catalog ##### ===== cut =====
The compiled script will print: ===== cut ===== ./compiled/msg.sh ##### ===== cut ===== This is very bad in 2 ways: 1. Localised $"..." string literals in compiled scripts should work like in normal, uncompiled scripts. Otherwise the whole point of localisation is void. 2. There is no output currently at all for compiled scripts, which is IMO a bug.
