Note that you may have multiple catalog files and you can distribute the
translations among multiple files. This leaves full flexibility to the
projects which want to provide message catalog entries. For example,
they could create individual files:
/usr/lib/systemd/catalog/foobar.catalog
/usr/lib/systemd/catalog/foobar-de_DE.catalog
/usr/lib/systemd/catalog/foobar-fr_FR.catalog
If a project follows the pattern described in [1] do they still need
to suffix every message ID therein with '-de_DE' or, can systemd
discover the locale from the catalog name (ie.
foobar-de_DE.catalog)?
Hmm, interesting idea...
We could extend the msg catalog compiler to look at the filename for the
"default" implied language if the message ids are not suffixed... But if
we do that, we probably should use "." as separator so that:
foobar.catalog → language is C if not explicitly suffixed in the file
foobar.de_DE.catalog → language is de_DE if not explicitly suffixed in the file
and so on. That should be a good solution for your usecase, right?
I think that would work fine and would keep people from having to muck
around with individual message IDs.
Cheers,
