Incomplete Internationalization in Argparse Module
Hello, all. I was wondering if the following string was left untouched by gettext for a purpose (from line 720 of argparse.py, in class ArgumentError): 'argument %(argument_name)s: %(message)s' There may be other untranslatable strings in the argparse module, but I have yet to encounter them in the wild. Thank you.

Probably so that anyone introspecting on the error message can count on somewhat of a consistent format (comes into play with doctest typically).
That string looks like it is aimed at the developer, not the user of the program, so it makes sense not to translate it. On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 2:07 PM, Brett Cannon <brett@python.org> wrote:

I agree. However, an incorrect choice for an argument with a choices parameter results in this string. On 2016年04月08日 18時12分, Guido van Rossum wrote:

OK, so this should be taken to the bug tracker. On Saturday, April 9, 2016, Grady Martin <sunnycemetery@gmail.com> wrote:
