What do

|
|
|
Torbjörn Granlund (coreutils)
|
|
François Pinard (coreutils)
|
|
Danilo Šegan (gettext)
|
|
|
|
have in common?
|
|
|
|
A non-ASCII name. This causes trouble in the --version output. The simple
|
|
"solution" unfortunately mutilates the name.

|
|
|
$ ptx --version | grep Pinard
|
|
Écrit par F. Pinard.
|
|
|
|
What is desirable, is to print the full name if the output character set
|
|
allows it, and the ASCIIfied name only as a fallback.

The 'propername' module does exactly this. Plus, for languages that use
|
|
a different writing system than the Latin alphabet, it allows a translator
|
|
to write the name using that different writing system. In that case the
|
|
output will look like this:
|
|
<translated name> (<original name in English>)
|
|
|
|
To use the 'propername' module requires two simple steps:
|
|
|
|
1) Add it to the list of gnulib modules to import,
|
|
|
|
2) Change the arguments of version_etc(),
|
|
|
|
from "Paul Eggert"
|
|
to proper_name ("Paul Eggert")
|
|
|
|
from "Torbjorn Granlund"
|
|
to proper_name_utf8 ("Torbjorn Granlund", "Torbj\303\266rn Granlund")
|
|
|
|
from "F. Pinard"
|
|
to proper_name_utf8 ("Franc,ois Pinard", "Fran\303\247ois Pinard")
|
|
|
|
(Optionally, here you can also add / * TRANSLATORS: ... * / comments
|
|
explaining how the name is written or pronounced.)
