Bug ID: 79596
Summary: translation: argument to gfc_internal_error should not
be translated
Product: gcc
Version: 7.0.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
Target Milestone: ---
Internal errors should not be translated. Their only purpose is to give
information back to the developers, and this information should not be modified
by any translator.
It is not even necessary that the end user sees a cleartext description of the
error, much less translated into any language. This would mean that the
developers would have to translate back the internal error description from any
of the 50+? languages to see what the exact error was.
Not translating these internal errors creates less burden on the translators
and helps the GCC developers to more quickly get down to the actual fixing of
the bugs.
