This looks wrong. Consider a simplified example:
eval_gettext 'foo "bar baz"'
Now eval_gettext is supposed to just interpolate $variable
substitutions, right? In particular, the quotation marks
ought to be preserved.
But instead, what gets evaluated is:
printf '%s' "foo "bar baz""
which splits as
printf '%s' 'foo bar' 'baz'
which is equivalent to
printf '%s' 'foo bar'
printf '%s' 'baz'
with output
foo barbaz
Maybe something like this would do it?
gettext_eval=$(
printf '%s\n' "$1" |
sed '
s/[`\\"]/\\&/g
1 s/^/printf "%s" "/
$ s/$/"/
'
) &&
eval "$gettext_eval"
