Great! If you would revert r31506 you would add a regression because of
r31501.

That's wrong again! These patches just manually expand macros in help
outputs (for commands resolve, mergeinfo and switch). There should be
no change in the output!
The problem was that xgettext, a tool to extract messages from source
code to put it into a .pot translation template file, failed to parse
these strings containing macros. This resulted in no such messages
in the translation PO files (and were that's why not translated) which I
fixed by manually inserting these messages.
Without macros xgettext works well and even after the next po-update.py
call PO files no messages will be missing.

Right! Don't revert it! It was carefully proven by me and others!
