    Which one do you refer to? There are some entries which are treating identical tasks, the differences between them are details. Example:

      -d --display-settings  Displays recent content of default configuration file
                           only and exits program.
      -d --display-settings <configfile>  Displays recent content of configuration
                           file referred to by  <configfile> only and exit program.
    

    As you see you can use this option with an argument as well as without. This changes its meaning in detail. So I decided to split this into two help entries, in order not to confuse description by merging both into one statement, when it comes to more complex descriptions than this example. Think of what kind of sentence structure this would have been resulting in when more complex things are to be described. But possibly we should set together and rewrite these entries completely to sort out the purposeful duplicates by something like

      -d --display-settings [<configfile>] Displays recent content of configuration
                           file only and exits program.
                           If omitting the argument <configfile>, the default
                           configuration file will be used.

    This way we would have only one entry per option.

    Please note: The line breaks and blanks are set only in German language version correctly, since I was quite sure my English translations (GB as well as US) are urgently in need of major overhauling by a native speaker. Hence it wouldn’t have made any sense to carefully balance the typeset by adding or removing blanks and/or moving line breaks in my rough translation. Refer to German source strings to get an idea how it might look like. There is no design directive, you can freely arrange it in translation, but just think of other “command -h” output you know from console.

    …transifex tip. I did not know that!

    They have hidden it very well, behind a meaningless menu entry, nobody would expect to be meant for actual change the setting.

    So long.
