[New-bugs-announce] [issue16786] argparse doesn't offer localization interface for "version" action

[Thorsten Kampe]

New submission from Thorsten Kampe:

The - deprecated - "version" keyword for argparse.ArgumentParser allowed for localization of the "show program's version number and exit" help text for -v/--version (output of "-h"/"--help")

The new version action for add_argument does not allow this - resulting in a partially translated output for the -v/--version option.
