Hi! I am currently working on the i18n of the foomatic printer database. Messages that need to be translated are printer/printing option names and values. These often contain numerical values like "600 DPI", "256 MB Memory extention", "Tray 4", "1.125x3.5in, 28x89mm", "-30°" and so on. To reduce to number of messages I'd like to merge string that only differ by the numeric values to some thing like "%s DPI", "Tray %s", "%sx%sin. %sx%smm". Are there any special issues I have to take care of. Do numbers need to be translated into something else than [0-9]* in some languages and if so is this done automatically by sprintf if LC_NUMERIC is set? Thanks for your help Florian Festi
