Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #3744: Possibility of output of an error message on other languages (not English).

What error messages are you referring to? std::exception::what() is generally only useful for debugging.

It not absolutely so. Certainly the most part of exceptions appears at programming errors (we will not consider them). However in a number of libraries (for example:

boost:: graph (a file "read_graphviz_new.cpp") - the input file structure is broken
boost:: program_options (a file "cmdline.cpp") - the user has entered an unknown option
boost:: property_tree (a file "info_parser.hpp") not probably to open a file

) exceptions arise not because of errors of the programmer, and because of errors in input data. In this case it is desirable for user of the program to produce the message on a native language. As it to achieve with the minimum changes in libraries, and not so complicating users of library, here the purpose of my sentence. Probably it can achieve more simple resources, in this case let's realise them.

status, severity changed; resolution set

status new → closed
resolution → invalid
severity Optimization → Cosmetic

This kind of request must be sent to the Boost ML, not the trac.

I propose to close this ticket as this is more related to a new internationalization library.
