A agree with Finnbarr, Irek and other people here. This is a very serious defect. IMO compiled shell script should be NLS-aware and $"string" strings should work just like normal scripts. This seriously affects us as we actively ship compiled shell scripts as part of our product line (on Linux we use binfmt that the kernel calls ksh93) and we *hoped* that the $"string" literals will ease the complexity of localization once ksh93 u becomes more common in installations (or is shipped as part of our product line). But as it is implemented right now in ast-open.2010-07-01 it is *not* usable. David, Glenn, please fix the $"string" literals to make them NLS-aware, even if this means that the binary format of compiled shell scripts must be changed.
