Hi Junio, I am resubmitting this patch to make the substitution placeholder text localizable. Fuller explanation and example are given in the commit message. I have reworked the translator comments to be fuller, clearer and prompt the proper default in case of doubt. Last time you asked me why I am localizing the `<>' characters for substitution but not the `[]' for optional values. There are several reasons: 1. No one has asked for such a feature so currently there seems to be no need for that. If someone asks - it is easy to provide the feature then. 2. <> are much more dangerous in the shell than [] when copy-pasted 3. So far Bulgarian translation is the only user of the localizability of <> and the action there is to omit the characters entirely - they are not needed as the alphabets are different. Omitting them makes messages shorter. If you omit both <> and [] in messages for terseness - messages will be ambiguous. Please indicate whether this is fine. I will iterate on the patch until it is deemed acceptable.
