[debian-knoppix] Why don't use "message catalog" ?

[kinneko <ydate@iodata.co.jp>]

Hi, guys.

  I'm developping another branch of knoppix-jp with some members.

    http://sourceforge.jp/projects/ya-knoppix-jp/

  Shell scripts of knoppix is very cool!

  But I wonder about Why Mr. knopper don't use "message catalog".

  When use "message catalog", make script simple and easy to support for many language.

    http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash/html_chapter/bashref_3.html#SEC13

  I tried to change "saveconfig" script.

  Please test it.

    http://downloads.sourceforge.jp/ya-knoppix-jp/2217/saveconfig.tar.gz

  This is Japanese language case (ja & LANG=ja_JP.eucJP). 
  Use your native language symbol and locale.

    1. Copy and edit "saveconfig.po".
        # cp saveconfig.po ja.po

    2. Put your native language "msgstr" line.
        # vi ja.po

    3. Make ".mo" file
        # msgfmt -o ja.mo ja.po

    4. Copy files.
        # mkdir -p ja/LC_MESSAGES
        # cp ja.mo ja/LC_MESSAGES/saveconfig.mo

    5. Test it.
        # LANG=C TEXTDOMAINDIR=. TEXTDOMAIN=saveconfig ./saveconfig
        # LANG=ja_JP.eucJP TEXTDOMAINDIR=. TEXTDOMAIN=saveconfig ./saveconfig

Thank you.
