Package: apt Severity: wishlist Tags: l10n Currently, the utilities apt-extracttemplates and apt-sortpkgs do not use gettext for their help messages. As a result, these messages remain untranslated even though apt and apt-ftparchive already support localization.
Please consider moving these strings into gettext domains (apt-utils.po or separate .po files), so that translators can provide proper localization. Example: $ apt-extracttemplates -h apt 3.0.3 (amd64) Usage: apt-extracttemplates file1 [file2 ...] apt-extracttemplates is used to extract config and template files from debian packages. It is used mainly by debconf(1) to prompt for configuration questions before installation of packages. $ apt-sortpkgs -h apt 3.0.3 (amd64) Usage: apt-sortpkgs [options] file1 [file2 ...] apt-sortpkgs is a simple tool to sort package information files. By default it sorts by binary package information, but the -s option can be used to switch to source package ordering instead. This change would improve consistency of APT localization across all utilities.
