Thanks, I pushed the attached slightly-simpler patch.
From 34ea1b4b956ffe759b3acd6f452ebe4dba93808d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 07:55:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] maint: fix message translation glitches
Problem reported by Sebastian Rasmussen in: http://bugs.gnu.org/18054 * gl/lib/randread.c (randread_error): Don't put multiple string literals inside _(...), as xgettext doesn't support that. * src/chroot.c (main): In diagnostics, don't bother to distinguish between setting the number of supplemental group IDs to a zero or to a nonzero value, as the underlying system call is the same either way. This also makes the string easier to translate correctly. --- gl/lib/randread.c | 2 +- src/chroot.c | 3 +-- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/gl/lib/randread.c b/gl/lib/randread.c index a073cab..af85653 100644 --- a/gl/lib/randread.c +++ b/gl/lib/randread.c @@ -125,7 +125,7 @@ randread_error (void const *file_name) { if (file_name) error (exit_failure, errno, - _(errno == 0 ?
