Alexander Shopov:
Hello all,
Is there any interest in being able to change the delimiters of the
changeable terms in git messages?
Typical example:
ORIGINAL
msgid " (use \"git rm --cached <file>...\" to unstage)"
I think there should be something indicating the variables, and with
Unicode there are better choices than the ASCII
less-than-greater-than, for instance U+2039/U+203A. In the same way,
we could also fix the quotation marks:
" (use “git rm --cached ‹file›...” to unstage)"
The source should perhaps still be ASCII-only to be compatible with
older systems, but we could create a en_US.UTF-8 localization file
that does the above, and apply similar changes to other localizations
(I have been thinking about doing it to the Swedish translation for a
while, but so far have not come around to; of course quoting differs
from language to language, with different styles for ‘English’,
“American”, „German”, ”Swedish” and «Norwegian», for instance; it is
all very confusing and difficult to get right).
