"$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"' + +DESCRIPTION +----------- + +This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. +This documentation is meant for people who are studying the +Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones. + +The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using +`.`) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell +script. It provides wrappers for the GNU `gettext` and +`eval_gettext` functions accessible through the `gettext.sh` +script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on systems +without GNU gettext. + +FUNCTIONS +--------- + +gettext:: + Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper + around `printf(1)`. Will be replaced by a real gettext + implementation in a later version. + +eval_gettext:: + Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper + around `printf(1)` with variables expanded by the + linkgit:git-sh-i18n--envsubst[1] helper.
