Comment (by axeld):

 I'm against applying this patch for the following reasons:
 * listport is a very simple command, there is no reason to move it into
 its own subdirectory
 * it's called "listport", not ListPort, so the source file should match
 * while I heavily dislike having localized command line applications, I
 guess others do think otherwise. Still, if possible, I would like to have
 the command line applications in English, while the rest of the system
 follows the configured language by default. Not sure, if this is possible
 already.
 * You said "does not look so good": what exactly do you mean, and what
 exactly did you change?
 * Localization changes should be separated from other changes.
