Bug ID: 79842 Summary: i18n: subword translation in "Can't use the same %smodule" Product: gcc Version: 7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de Target Milestone: --- gfc_fatal_error ("Can't USE the same %smodule we're building!", p->state == COMP_SUBMODULE ? "sub" : ""); The message is either of these: * "Can't USE the same module we're building!" * "Can't USE the same submodule we're building!" As a translator, I have no chance of providing a proper translation for this, since the word part "sub" is always introduced. Translations should always be complete sentences. In this case, the easiest solution is this: for (p = gfc_state_stack; p; p = p->previous) if ((p->state == COMP_MODULE || p->state == COMP_SUBMODULE) && strcmp (p->sym->name, module_name) == 0) if (p->state == COMP_SUBMODULE) gfc_fatal_error ("Can't USE a submodule that is currently built"); else gfc_fatal_error ("Can't USE a module that is currently built"); This also fixes #79840 by removing the exclamation mark and rewording the diagnostic.
