Bug ID: 32002
Summary: Untranslated plural in readelf.c:9433
Product: binutils
Version: 2.42
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fmarchal at perso dot be
Target Milestone: ---
In readelf.c, line 9431 looks like a hard coded plural:
if (num_rela == 1)
/* This is unlikely, but possible. */
printf (_(" at offset %#" PRIx64
" contains 1 entry which relocates 1 location:\n"),
rel_offset);
else
printf (_(" at offset %#" PRIx64 " contains %" PRIu64
" entries which relocate %" PRIu64 " locations:\n"),
rel_offset, num_rela, count_relr_relocations (filedata,
section));
As explained in
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html gettext
offers the function ngettext to handle plural in a way that's compatible with
other languages beside English.
As the string contains two distinct plural counts, building such a sentence is
rather clumsy, unfortunately. It might look like this (beware: not actually
tested!):
uint64_t num_reloc = count_relr_relocations (filedata, section);
printf (_(" at offset %#" PRIx64), rel_offset);
printf (ngettext(" contains %" PRIu64" entry which relocates", " contains %"
PRIu64" entries which relocate", num_rela), num_rela),
printf (ngettext(" %" PRIu64 " location:\n", " %" PRIu64 " locations:\n",
num_reloc), num_reloc)
This is still not as easy to translate as usual self contained sentences but
it's the only way I could find.
