Description Christian Rose 2002-02-13 18:22:16 UTC
Many of the procps utilities are quite commonly used (uptime, top, ps, etc.) and
would benefit from translation support. I suggest gettext support be implemented
in the procps utilities.

Comment 1 Michael K. Johnson 2002-03-27 23:24:53 UTC
There's not much in them to translate, mostly it's just reporting text
from the system.  What bits do you want translatable?

Comment 2 Christian Rose 2002-03-27 23:37:17 UTC
Anything that can be translated - descriptions and column labels in the
interface, --help output, error messages, etc.

Comment 3 Michael K. Johnson 2002-03-29 03:27:06 UTC
The column labels shouldn't be translated.  They aren't really even
english as a general rule...

Why? They sure look like English to me.
