Important

This issue was migrated from Trac:

Origin https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3638
Reporter zaytsev (@zyv)

Currently, the necessary files seem to be in the repository, but it appears that they are/were never correctly activated.

Need to double check the current state, update the files if necessary and activate them.

See documentation for the details:

    Closing as won't fix:

    • en@boldquot would put terminal escape sequences into messages
    • en@quot would only change the quotes in 15 of about 1,200 strings, and only for users who explicitly set LANGUAGE=en@quot; gettext never selects it for en_US.UTF-8

    In exchange, we would have to deal with:

    • Untracked po/en@quot.po that builds generate in the source tree
    • Adjusting the Transifex sync so it doesn't drop the language from LINGUAS
    • Broken make distcheck with the old gettext infrastructure

    The cost isn't worth it.
