Description Jorma Karvonen 2007-10-13 08:28:27 UTC 
When I checked with some translations, some messages are obviously considered as
constants (by translators) and are not translated. I think they should be
removed or rewritten:

#: config/tc-arc.c:1076 config/tc-ip2k.c:248
msgid "md_estimate_size_before_relax\n"
msgstr "md_estimate_size_before_relax\n"

#: config/tc-arc.c:1087
msgid "md_convert_frag\n"
msgstr "md_convert_frag\n"

#: config/tc-i860.c:1086
msgid "i860_estimate_size_before_relax\n"
msgstr "i860_estimate_size_before_relax\n"

#: config/tc-i860.h:76
msgid "i860_convert_frag\n"
msgstr "i860_convert_frag\n"

#: config/tc-ip2k.c:273
msgid "md_pcrel_from\n"
msgstr "md_pcrel_from\n"

#: config/tc-m68k.c:2147
msgid "ColdFire ISA_A"
msgstr "ColdFire ISA_A"

#: config/tc-m68k.c:2153
msgid "ColdFire ISA_A+"
msgstr "ColdFire ISA_A+"

#: config/tc-m68k.c:2156
msgid "ColdFire ISA_B"
msgstr "ColdFire ISA_B"

There are also some questionable msgids like "ColdFire fpu" or "M68K fpu". I
suppose that translators do no change them by any way.

Oops, ignore file name gas-2.17.90.fi.po on the summary line. It is not issued
yet ;-) It should be gas-2.17.90.pot

Pls, ignore what I said about questionable. Maybe some translator can translate
them (fpu means here "floating point unit", does it? Sometimes it could be
better to explain abbreviations in comments, because translators have to guess
what they mean).

Hi Jorma,

  I have applied the uploaded patch to resolve most of this issue.  The code in
tc-m68k.c:m68k_ip() should really be rewritten to make translation easier, but
that will have to wait for another time.

Cheers
  Nick
