Hello, For a long time I've been annoyed that certain tools such as (but not only) pg_resetwal have translatable strings full of whitespace that translators have to be careful about so that things look nice. For Spanish I have made the lines a bit wider so that everything fits, which means that every time someone adds a new line that's not yet translated, the output looks bad; and if I want to add one more space to align a new longer string, then I have to edit every single one of them. This is horrible. Here's a proposal. The idea is to have a separate file (entries.h right now but proposal for better names are welcome) which lists those strings, together with the printf specifiers needed to actually print them. This way, we can measure the length of each exactly as they translate before printing anything, and then line up everything to the same output length. One curious thing of note is that I had to add an internal_wcswidth() function, to avoid having to link libpq just to be able to do pg_wcswidth(). This is not complete. It modifies PrintControlValues(), which is easy because I just print each item in the entries.h file in the same order they appear there. But for PrintNewControlValues() I'll need to add a symbolic identifier to each string, that the code can use to scan the array and print just those elements. I'll do that if there are no objections to this idea here. Also, pg_controldata could probably something very similar or maybe the same entries.h file. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "If you want to have good ideas, you must have many ideas.
