i18N Translation of welcome message in terminal not possible

Description

The help text in lib/init/init.sh | lib/init/init.bat are not yet extracted to the .po files. According to locale/scriptstrings/README the translations of the messages contained in the shell scripts is done with 'g.parser -t ...'.

How to do something similar for the help text and cmd line welcome message?

Replying to neteler:

The welcome message is take from $GISBASE/locale/<locale>/etc/welcome if it exists.

The help text could be handled similarly, except that the text currently undergoes some variable substitutions ($CMD_NAME and $DEFAULT_GUI). That could be handled with sed, e.g.:

    sed -e "s/@CMD_NAME@/$CMD_NAME/" -e "s/@DEFAULT_GUI@/$DEFAULT_GUI/" < $GISBASE/locale/$LOCALE/etc/helpmsg

Starting from r41856 and r59163 whole GRASS 7 startup is i18n friendly. I would vote for closing this bug.

Is this still an issue? comment:3 suggests it is not since around 6.4.4. Can somebody using a translated version confirm?

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

It is fixed for 7.x long time a go. If there are some untranslated messages, a new bug indicating the message should be filled.
