hello,

in my MinGW-builds (https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds) projects I
use `--disable-nls` by default and all works as expected.

but I received a request to enable NLS support:
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/issues/666

the problem is when using `--enable-nls` the built compiler outputs
messages for the `gcc` or `gcc -v` or `gcc --help` commands in the
language of the user's locale (in this case Chinese), but the error
messages it still outputs in English:
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/issues/666#issuecomment-1878064389

any ideas?

That should work fine. The zh_CN.po file contains translations for
"error" and "%qD was not declared in this scope" so if the first
command uses the translated strings, then the second one should too.

It works perfectly for me using a native linux compiler:

$ LANG=zh_CN.utf-8 gcc hello.cpp
hello.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
hello.cpp:3:1: 错误:‘cout1’在此作用域中尚未声明>
   3 | cout1 << "Hello";
     | ^~~~~

hello Jonathan,


Are you able to reproduce this yourself, using your build?

no, unfortunately I don't have access to Windows OS...
I forwarded your questions to the user.


I would
check it, to make sure it isn't just user error, e.g. forgetting to
set the locale in the environment for the second command. You should
also ask the user how they're setting the locale. i.e. do some basic
triage and analysis of the issue report.



best!
