A bitsinfo localization

[Karvjorm]

Here is src/tools/translation/bitsinfo localization. I added also a resource file for the program.

A bitsinfo localization patch

While your localization enthusiasm is really appreciated, I think localizing tools like this (especially if they don't originate from us) is just a waste of time. Does it even show up on the image?

While I personally don't like translated shell commands, there are probably a lot of those that haven't been translated yet, hint, hint :-)

Those bitsinfo, pnginfo, bmpinfo programs can be found under /srs/tools/translation/ as well as Inspector Translation Program (​http://hta.polytect.org/catalogs/view/133/fi). I personally think that also programs that can be run in the Terminal window should be localized as well the desktop program's messages that are printed in the Terminal window when they are run from the command line. I'm making them available and others can make decisions, if some specific localization is taken with the distribution image, or not.

It's certainly your time, and your reasoning is sound indeed :-)

Just a small reminder: Some commandline apps' in/output strings may be used in scripts. One has to be careful what's going to be translated. The usage/help output should be save at least... :)

But it's virtually impossible to decide what input/output might be used by scripts. As a result, I wouldn't put the burden on the commandline tool being translated but on the calling script instead. That script should set LC_ALL=POSIX before invoking any command that it wishes to analyze.

Per comment:18 and comment:20, I will review the patches and push them upstream.
