Hi!

Is it possible to get bash to use a fallback language for showing
localized strings if no translation exists for the current language?
Instead of using the 'raw' msgid that is.

E.g. $"mymsgid" has translations in en and sv that makes sense. But then
a user with LANG=fr and gets the 'raw' mymsgid string.

I could of course put the human readable message, say en, in the msgid -
but that would make it confusing and hard to maintain if the en
translation string changes.

Best regards,
Anders
