Dear Wallon,

I believe the program code isn’t prepared for translation by its author. So it’s a good idea to ask him directly whether this could be added. From the command line:

$ which gexec
/usr/bin/gexec

$ dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/gexec
gexec: /usr/bin/gexec

$ apt-cache show gexec
...

The output leads to the package homepage, which is skidoo’s:

https://gitlab.com/skidoo/gexec

When looking into the file

gexec.c

I don’t see any preparation for translation within the code (also not present when checking the old original debian version 0.4 at https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/gexec )

So probably this program was never meant to be translated, in spite of the fact that it’s a GUI. Strange enough.

But I’m not skilled to read C code at all, so I might be wrong and there might be some kind of localisation applied and hidden in this C code I don’t know.

Due to the sad pass of skidoo, somebody else skilled in C would need to take over skidoo’s repository containing the 0.5.4 version and check/add/prepare the code for translation of this program.

Kinds regards
Robin

P.S.:
Here are some infos about how the localisation in the C code would look like if present:

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.
