gettext-0.17-alt3 info gettext 'gettext Invocation': `-n' Suppress trailing newline. By default, `gettext' adds a newline to the output. but this is not so: [ivan@dell ~]$ LC_MESSAGES=ru_RU.KOI8-R gettext mc 'File' Файл[ivan@dell ~]$
The gettext documentation is incomplete: this utility adds trailing newline only in echo mode (-s option).
Fixed documentation in 0.17-alt3-1-g0bcb308
Ok.
