How to set svn info response/call result language?

  • 772

I have localized russian Ubuntu 11.10. But all my scripts use stuff like 

  REMOTE_REV=`svn info $REMOTE_REPO | grep '^Revision:' | awk '{print $2}'`

Where in my localization ^Редакция: would do the job. I wonder if it is possible to tall svn info in what language to responde instad of rewriting\localizing all my scripts grep stuff?

command-line

    Maybe this chapter of the SVN book can help in your matter: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.l10n.html

    In simple words, if you export LC_MESSAGES to en_US, SVN should honor your locale. 

    $ export LC_MESSAGES=en_US

  2. If you want to avoid changing language for other commands then you can run svn info in a separate shell. E.g.:

    getRevision=$(cat <<'EOF'
  LANG=C
  LC_MESSAGES=C
  svn info . | grep 'Last Changed Rev' | awk '{ print $4; }'
EOF
)
currentRevision=`bash -c "$getRevision"`
