[PATCH] wt-status: take the alignment burden off translators

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's not easy for translators to see spaces in these strings have to
align, especially when there are no guarantees that these strings are
grouped together in .po files.

Refactor the code and do the alignment automatically. Let the
translator specify how big the alignment is, though, in case some
languages need more than 12 columns for the preceding text.

 Ralf and Quan, don't update your translations yet. If this change
 gets merged it'll simplify your task a bit.
