[PATCH 00/21] i18n and tests updates

[Vasco Almeida]

Marks several messages for translation and updates tests to pass under
GETTEXT_POISON. Some tests were updated to fit previous i18n marks, others
were updated to fit marks made by these patches. Patches that only touch
test file refer to marks done in commits previous to these ones.

Vasco Almeida (21):
  i18n: builtin/remote.c: fix mark for translation
  i18n: advice: mark string about detached head for translation
  i18n: advice: internationalize message for conflicts
  i18n: transport: mark strings for translation

  i18n: sequencer: mark string for translation
  i18n: merge-octopus: mark messages for translation
  merge-octupus: use die shell function from git-sh-setup.sh
  i18n: rebase: fix marked string to use eval_gettext variant
  i18n: rebase: mark placeholder for translation
  i18n: bisect: simplify error message for i18n
  t6030: update to use test_i18ncmp
  i18n: git-sh-setup.sh: mark strings for translation
  i18n: rebase-interactive: mark strings for translation
  i18n: rebase-interactive: mark here-doc strings for translation
  i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of squash for translation
  tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positives
  tests: unpack-trees: update to use test_i18n* functions

[PATCH 01/21] i18n: builtin/remote.c: fix mark for translation

[Vasco Almeida]

The second string inside _() was not being extracted for translation by
xgettext, meaning that, although the string was passed to gettext, there
was no translation available.

Mark each individual string instead of marking the result of ternary if.

[PATCH 11/21] i18n: bisect: simplify error message for i18n

[Vasco Almeida]

The message was not being extracted by xgettext, although it was marked
for translation, seemingly because it contained a command substitution.
Moreover, eval_gettext should be used instead of gettext for strings
with substitution.

See step 4. of section 15.5.2.1 Preparing Shell Scripts for
Internationalization from gettext manual [1]:
"Simplify translatable strings so that they don't contain command
substitution ("`...`" or "$(...)") [...]"

[PATCH 13/21] i18n: git-sh-setup.sh: mark strings for translation

[Vasco Almeida]

Positional arguments, such as $0, $1, etc, need to be stored on shell
variables for use in translatable strings, according to gettext manual.

Add git-sh-setup.sh to LOCALIZED_SH variable in Makefile to enable
extraction of string marked for translation by xgettext.

Although git-sh-setup.sh is a shell library to be sourced by other shell
scripts, it is necessary to source git-sh-i18n at this point, because
some scripts don't do it themselves. Not sourcing git-sh-i18n would lead
to failure due to, for instance, gettextln not being found.

Source "$(git --exec-path)"/git-sh-i18n instead of simply git-sh-i18n,
because latter case would fail test t2300-cd-to-toplevel.sh.

[PATCH 14/21] i18n: rebase-interactive: mark strings for translation

[Vasco Almeida]

Mark strings in git-rebase--interactive.sh for translation. There is no
need to source git-sh-i18n since git-rebase.sh already does so.

Add git-rebase--interactive.sh to LOCALIZED_SH in Makefile in order to
enabled extracting strings marked for translation by xgettext.

[PATCH 15/21] i18n: rebase-interactive: mark here-doc strings for translation

[Vasco Almeida]

Use pipe to send gettext output to git stripspace instead of the
original method of using shell here-document, because command
substitution '$(...)' would not take place inside the here-documents.
The exception is the case of the last here-document redirecting to cat,
in which commands substitution works and, thus, is preserved in this
commit.

t3404: adapt test to the strings newly marked for translation
Test t3404-rebase-interactive.sh would fail under GETTEXT_POISON unless
using test_i18ngrep.

Add eval_ngettext dummy function to be called by tests when running
under GETTEXT_POISON. Otherwise, tests would fail under gettext poison
because that function could not be found.

[PATCH 16/21] i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of squash for translation

[Vasco Almeida]

Mark comment messages of squash/fixup file ($squash_msg) for
translation.

Helper functions this_nth_commit_message and skip_nth_commit_message
replace the previous method of making the comment messages (such as
"This is the 2nd commit message:") aided by nth_string helper function.
This step was taken as a workaround to enabled translation of entire
sentences. However, doesn't change any text seen in English by the user,
except for string "The first commit's message is:" which was changed to
match the style of other instances.

The test t3404-rebase-interactive.sh resorts to set_fake_editor which
didn't account for GETTEXT_POISON. Fix it by assuming success when we
find dummy gettext poison output where was supposed to find the first
comment line "This is a combination of $count commits.".

For that same message, use plural aware eval_ngettext instead of
eval_gettext, since other languages have more complex plural forms.

[PATCH 17/21] tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positives

[Vasco Almeida]

The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run
under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is
correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings
newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are
indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be
unmarked, since it is not seen by users.

Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test
under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by
their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for
translation, suppressing false positives.

[PATCH 18/21] tests: unpack-trees: update to use test_i18n* functions

[Vasco Almeida]

Use functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep to successfully pass tests
running under GETTEXT_POISON.

The output strings compared to in these test were marked for translation
in ed47fdf ("i18n: unpack-trees: mark strings for translation",
2016-04-09) and later improved in 2e3926b ("i18n: unpack-trees: avoid
substituting only a verb in sentences", 2016-05-12).

[PATCH 19/21] t9003: become resilient to GETTEXT_POISON

[Vasco Almeida]

The test t9003-help-autocorrect.sh fails when run under GETTEXT_POISON,
because it's expecting to filter out the original output. Accommodate
gettext poison case by also filtering out the default simulated output.

[PATCH 20/21] t4153: fix negated test_i18ngrep call

[Vasco Almeida]

The function test_i18ngrep fakes success when run under GETTEXT_POISON.
Hence, running in the following manner will always fail under gettext
poison:

	! test_i18ngrep expected actual

Use correct syntax: test_i18ngrep ! expected actual

For other instance of this issue see 41ca19b ("tests: fix negated
test_i18ngrep calls", 2014-08-13).

[PATCH 21/21] t5523: use test_i18ngrep for negation

[Vasco Almeida]

Replace the first form by the second one:
	! grep expected actual
	test_i18ngrep ! expected actual

The latter syntax is supported by test_i18ngrep defined in
t/test-lib.sh.

Although the test already passes whether GETTEXT_POSION is enabled, use
the i18n grep variant for the sake of consistency and also to make
obvious that those strings are subject to i18n.

Despite the commit message, I still don't understand this change. 'me'
is a literal git command which shouldn't be translated, so how is this
helping?

Similar to my comment on patch 3/21, since the "actions" are literal
git commands, it's not clear why this change is helpful. Perhaps the
commit message needs to do a better job of persuading the reader?

I saw it as an operation that could be translated, not necessary a git
command - just happens to be so. Now that you mention, I can see this
patch doesn't had much value from that point of view.

On the other hand, I can translate the sentence, including the command
name. Something I couldn't before and I would likely do it to be
consistent with other translations I've done and also because, as a
user, I would like to read the entire sentence in my language.

I have few experience in i18n and l10n, but often I realize I'm making
assumptions about other languages that are not true. Some translations,
say Chinese or Bulgarian that have their own writing systems, might
translate that command word to something to their writing. Others might
agglutinate the command word with some suffix.
I can't say for sure because I don't know those languages, but it's
possible.

Maybe the first paragraph can give you a better understanding of the issue:

I agree, I should have explained why this way. As I tried to explain on
patch 3/21, it concerns a) we can't assume what and how does the
translator translates into her language, so b) give translations freedom
to choose.

The intention of who wrote this message was to tell this to the
user:

    Running the command '$X' is not possible in this situation.

implying "Don't type '$X' again; it is futile.  Correct the unmerged
status first".

Our subcommand names are English verbs, because they are designed to
be easily understandable by English speakers, so we do not exactly
say "Running the command 'commit'" in the message.  Instead we say
"commit is not possible..." for brevity.

Languages, if their grammatical rules do not allow a subcommand name
in the place in a straight-translation of that original sentence,
are allowed to (and encouraged to) translate the original "%s is not
possible" as if it were "Running the command '%s' is not possible".
That is what good translaters would do anyway.

So for this (and 05/21 for the same reasons), I do not think we want
to split and duplicate the messages.

I tried but it seems not to work.

Actually I did this wrong, I haven't thought this through.

Under gettext poison:
sed -e "1,/^Did you mean this/d" removes all lines, gives no output.
And then the one second, sed -e "/GETTEXT POISON/d", outputs "lgf" as
expected.

But running normally (without gettext poison):
1st sed outputs "lgf" as expected
And then second one output the entire 'actual' file, like if it were
cat, undoing the first sed.

I think the sed here is superfluous in the first place.
Should we remove it? If it weren't the case of gettext poison it was ok
to have sed there, but it makes the test fail under gettext poison.

Indeed, the sed seems superfluous. The output of the test command is:

    git: 'lfg' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

    Did you mean this?
        lgf

And, the grep'd string, "lgf" only appears once, so grep alone should
be sufficient to verify expected behavior. Likewise for the other case
of misspelled "distimdist" and grep'd "distimdistim" which appears
only once.

I agree that the simplest fix to make GETTEXT_POISON work is to drop
the sed invocation.

Anyhow, I've cc:'d the author of 9d1d2b7 (git: remove an early return
from save_env_before_alias(), 2016-01-26) which introduced it.

We want to see the string appear after "Did you mean this?" and we
do not want to be fooled by a future change in the early part of the
message, which may contain a substring l-g-f that does not have
anything to do with the alias we are looking for.

And the way you express "I do not care anything above this line" is
to say "sed -e '1,/^that line/d'".

Of course, if you use this with POISON, you'd need to consider that
"Did you mean this" would not be a good marker to identify where the
introductory text we want to ignore ends.  You'd need to find a
different mechanism to exclude the introductory text if you want to
retain the future-proofing the existing "sed -e" gave us.

Perhaps discarding up to the first blank line (i.e. assuming that we
would not remove that blank, and also assuming that we will not
rephrase "Did you mean this?") may be a good alternative.

Or assuming that the explanatory text would not begin its lines with
a tab, i.e.

	grep '^	lgf$' actual

(the space between '^' and 'l' above is a TAB) without using
test_i18ngrep?

I think I like that the best among what I can think of offhand.

Alternatively, we could leave sed alone as it were before this patch and
use test_i18ngrep instead of grep to fake success under GETTEXT_POISON.
I think I prefer this way. What do you think?

That is equivalent to saying that "we would translate 'lgf' to
end-user's language", which does not make much sense to me.

Wouldn't the introductory explanation, up to "Did you mean this?",
be the only thing that is translated?

I just checked the code ;-)  We do this:

	fprintf_ln(stderr,
		   Q_("\nDid you mean this?",
		      "\nDid you mean one of these?",
		   n));

	for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
		fprintf(stderr, "\t%s\n", main_cmds.names[i]->name);

Using test_i18ngrep would mean we would not be able to catch a
potential future bug that does an equivalent of

	for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
		fprintf(stderr, "\t%s\n", _(main_cmds.names[i]->name));

in the loop, i.e. marking something that is not meant to be
translated as translatable.

As long as translators do not translate "Did you mean..." to begin a
line with a tab (which I do not think there is any reason to), it is
going to work reliably to grep for "^ lgf$" here, and it will catch
such a potential future bug under GETTEXT_POISON build.

Translations don't affect the tests since they're run with C locale.
I think all tests source test-lib.sh which does:

	# For repeatability, reset the environment to known value.
	# TERM is sanitized below, after saving color control sequences.
	LANG=C
	LC_ALL=C
	PAGER=cat
	TZ=UTC
	export LANG LC_ALL PAGER TZ

So, I'll remove sed command and use grep the way you said it, in the
next re-roll.

Things like these should be converted into something you can pass to
eval_gettext. I.e. For any message the translator needs to be able to
translate the whole message. Consider e.g. RTL languages where the
(%d/%d) will be on the right-hand-side of the message.

Stuff like this should be one big call to gettext. I.e. everything
from "You can amend" up to and including "--continue". Even if the
translators probably don't want to change the order here it helps a
lot to have the extra context. I.e. do it like ...

Ditto my first comment about the whole thing needing to be a call to
eval_gettext. I.e. also that " %s" part.

Both ditto the above. I.e. just include the command to be issued in
the message. Then you can also skip the TRANSLATORS comment since this
won't be confusing to them anymore.

Making this into one big eval_gettext where we stash away those "newer
to older" commits into a variable would be easier on translators, but
maybe there are performance considerations and we could just live with
two messages. Not sure how large this list might get in practice.

I haven't tried to apply & run this patch. But aside from the chunks I
commented on the rest of this looks fine to me.

For what it's worth I agree with you and disagree with Eric here and
Junio in the "[PATCH 03/21] i18n: advice: internationalize message for
conflicts" thread.

Of course there's a trade-off in source code verbosity when you have
to change every occurance of (pseudocode):

    "our %s failed" # %s can be revert or merge

to:

    if (action == "merge")
        gettext("our merge failed")
    elsif (action == "revert")
        gettext("our revert failed")

But forcing the translator to turn every such occurrence that flows
naturally in English into "the '%s' command failed" leads to a worse
translation.

For example, if I ever get around to doing the Icelandic translation
which I've had on my backlog I might translate something like this:

    "You can merge or revert this commit"
    "To merge run 'git merge $commit', to revert run 'git revert $commit'"
    # Subsequently
    "The %s failed" # for %s = merge || revert

As:

    "Þú getur getur framkvæmt samruna á þessari breytingu, eða afturkallað hana"
    "Til að framkvæma samruna keyrðu 'git merge $commit', til að
afturkalla 'git revert $commit'"
    # Subsequently
    "Samruninn mistókst þegar við keyrðum 'merge' skipunina".
    "Afturköllunnin mistókst þegar við keyrðum 'revert' skipunina"

I.e. even though you might be running "git merge" or "git revert" the
UI is talking about those terms in the translated using native terms
for the action of merging or reverting, but referring to the literal
command names in English.

Not accepting changes like these means you have to translate this sort
of stuff like:

    # Same as the above
    "Þú getur getur framkvæmt samruna á þessari breytingu, eða
afturkallað hana".
    "Til að framkvæma samruna keyrðu 'git merge $commit', til að
afturkalla 'git revert $commit'"
    # Subsequently
    "Okkur tókst ekki að keyra 'git %s' skipunina" # %s = merge || revert

It just doesn't flow as well, and leads to a more verbose translation.
Now instead of referring to the translated verb I'd already
established I have to just refer to literal command names.

Both this change and the change you submitted in
<1463585274-9027-4-git-send-email-vascomalmeida@sapo.pt> and Junio
didn't like in <xmqqd1ojqciz.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com> are
actual examples of cases where if I was (finally getting of my ass to)
doing the Icelandic translation I'd take advantage of this.

One more thing I haven't anticipated. Thank you for pointing it out.

I'll take this and the other comments in consideration for the next re-roll.

OK.  I couldn't judge your example in Icelandic, but I have enough
trust in you to believe your conclusion ;-).

I have no problem viewing the issue from either side (the sentence
referencing a *literal* command or the *action* of the command), and
understood that it could go either way when I wrote the review. What
threw me was that 3/21 seemed to be using the literal command in the
strings rather than the action, despite the commit message. For
instance:

    error(_("commit is not possible because ..."));
    error(_("merge is not possible because ..."));
    error(_("pull is not possible because ..."));
    error(_("revert is not possible because ..."));

In each case, the first word looks like a git command; it's not
particularly grammatically correct. Had Vasco instead changed them to:

    committing is not possible...
    merging is not possible...
    pulling is not possible...
    reverting is not posible...

then the issue likely would never have come up.
