To use it run the test suite -with it, e.g.: - - cd t && GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=true prove -j 9 ./t[0-9]*.sh - -If tests break with it you should inspect them manually and see if -what you're translating is sane, i.e. that you're not translating -plumbing output. - -If not you should replace calls to grep with test_i18ngrep, or -test_cmp calls with test_i18ncmp. If that's not enough you can skip -the whole test by making it depend on the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT -prerequisite. See existing test files with this prerequisite for -examples. +Git's tests are run under LANG=C LC_ALL=C. So the tests do not need be +changed to account for translations as they're added. |
