Does anybody understand why the translation of initscripts is so
messy
with every release? Why so many times "Starting" and "Stoppin" some
service or deamon in so many variants, ($0, $prog, ${prog} etc.) some
services do have their names hardcoded, and with every release there is a
bunch of various small changes getting this translation pretty annoying.
This would be really helpful if those messages get unified...
The strings to
translate do not come only from initscripts, but also
from /etc/init.d/* files from all packages in the distribution. Many
package developers might not realize that $"..." means translation, or
what makes translator's lives difficult.
Does anybody know where to push?
Centralizing the messages
inside functions in /etc/init.d/functions, and
then trying to convince package maintainers to use these functions,
would probably make most sense overall. Failing that, just document the
exact preferred strings in a Fedora wiki and try to convince package
maintainers to use them. In any case it's a lot of work that will never
be truly complete.
