Hi, Last May all the strings in the help text (wget --help) were modified and thus *all* of the translations have been invalidated. (And no new release nor POT file was announced to the TP.) Would it be an option to undo those whitespace changes and thus automatically recover all of those translations?
If not, then please apply some of the upcoming patches. The first one makes all option descriptions start with a lowercase letter, like most of them already do. And it spell URL consistently in all uppercase. The second patch removes all of the full stops at the end of the option descriptions. When a string of words does not start with a capital and is not a complete sentence, it should not end with a period. The third patch changes the unrecommended backtick to a simple single quote sign. (Just in the help text; it should really be done in all strings.) When the plural of URL is URLs, then the plural of CA would have to be CAs, not CA's, because the latter is a possessive. The fourth patch corrects this. The fifth patch indents the continuation lines of long descriptions with two spaces, like most other programs do too. By the way, the whitespace change in May simply added four spaces everywhere in the help text, but it did not rewrap the long lines. Shouldn't that be done too, to make all lines fit again in 80 columns? Oh, there is an #ifdef __VMS around the "-K, --backup-converted", but for my life I cannot see a difference between the then and the else. When things have settled down, please announce a new release to the TP too. Cheers, Benno -- http://www.fastmail.com - Send your email first class
