  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15
  16 This is not a command the end user would want to run.  Ever.
  17 This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
  18 Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
  19
  20 The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
  21 `.`) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell
  22 script. It provides wrappers for the GNU `gettext` and
  23 `eval_gettext` functions accessible through the `gettext.sh`
  24 script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on systems
  25 without GNU gettext.

  27 FUNCTIONS
  28 ---------
  29
  30 gettext::
  31         Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper
  32         around `printf(1)`. Will be replaced by a real gettext
  33         implementation in a later version.
  34
  35 eval_gettext::
  36         Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper
  37         around `printf(1)` with variables expanded by the
  38         linkgit:git-sh-i18n{litdd}envsubst[1] helper. Will be replaced by a
  39         real gettext implementation in a later version.
