All the GNU tools support localization. And there seems to be some kind of inconsistency. $ LANGUAGE=de cp cp: Fehlender Dateioperand „cp --help“ liefert weitere Informationen. $ LANGUAGE=de wget wget: URL fehlt Aufruf: wget [OPTION]... [URL] … »wget --help« gibt weitere Informationen. Which one is correct ? Maybe someone here can bring light into this or give us a pointer where to get clarification. Wes, maybe you can elaborate why you think that smart quotes are *dangerous* ? Regards, Tim
