Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 7
Release Status: release

Description:
        The translated versions of the command synopsises (short_doc)
        are never used.

        The full description (long_doc) does appear in translated
        form.

Repeat-By:
        LC_ALL=sv_SE.utf8 bash -c 'help unalias'

        This will write a first line:

        unalias: unalias [-a] name [name ...]

        which is the English form.  But the Swedish translation does
        contain a translation:

        msgid "unalias [-a] name [name ...]"
        msgstr "unalias [-a] namn [namn ...]"

Fix:
        Unless I'm mistaken, this output comes from the function
        help_builtin in builtins/help.def which has the code:

        printf ("%s: %s\n", name, shell_builtins[i].short_doc);

        That would need to send the short_doc to gettext() before
        printing:

        printf ("%s: %s\n", name, _(shell_builtins[i].short_doc));

        Similarily for other uses of short_doc.  (I.e. in
        show_manpage() and show_builtin_command_help() (twice) in
        builtins/help.def, and in builtin_usage() in
        builtins/common.c.  It is used in shell.c too, but there the
        original string is to be used.)
