The parse_options API expects an array of alternative usage lines to which it automatically ads the language-appropriate "or" when displaying. Each of these options is marked for translation with N_ and then later translated when gettext is called on each element of the array. Since the N_ macro just expands to its argument, if two N_-marked strings appear next to each other without being separated by anything else such as a comma, the preprocessor will join them into one string. In that case two separate strings get marked for translation, but at runtime they have been joined into a single string passed to gettext which then fails to get translated because the combined string was never marked for translation. Fix this by properly separating the two N_ marked strings with a comma and removing the embedded "\n" and " or:" that are properly supplied by the parse_options API. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.
