[bug#57737] Thanks for your reviews!

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for your contribution.  Neat!

Next time, if I might, I would suggest the use of the option
--reroll-count from ’git format-patch’ and increases the number at each
new revision of the patch series.  It helps for following, IMHO. :-)

Indeed, it is not well-documented.  The definition from (guix i18n)
reads,

        (define G_ (cut gettext <> %gettext-domain))

which allows to extract the string and then process it for translation.
Although it is huge task, package synopsis and description are
translated too! ;-)

Usually, you just need to wraps the resulting string with (G_ …).  Does
it not work if instead you write,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(description (G_ (string-append "\
This package provides a consistent ESS-like evaluation interface for
" lang " REPLs. [...]")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

?  Well, I think,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(description (G_ "\
This package provides a consistent ESS-like evaluation interface for
~s REPLs. [...]"
lang))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

should fit the bill; or something along these lines. :-)


Cheers,
