Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] show-index: use gettext wrapping in user facing error messages

From: Shreyansh Paliwal <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 21:01:24 +0530

Multiple 'die()' calls in show-index.c use literal strings directly.

Wrap all user-facing 'die()' messages with '_()' so they can be translated
via gettext, this ensures better support for users.
