Short: Internationalization library and tools. V0.10.32 Author: Ulrich Drepper Type: dev/ade Version: 0.10.32 Requires: Amiga binary requires ixemul.library. Architecture: m68k-amigaos Origin: Amiga Development Environment, ftp.ninemoons.com:pub/ade The gettext package provides needed tools and library functions to help with internationalizing program. The goal of this library was to give a unique interface to message handling functions. At least the same level of importance was to give the programmer/maintainer the needed tools to maintain the message catalogs. The interface is designed after the proposals of the Uniforum group. So systems having this interface implemented in their C library don't need the library provided here (and it will automatically not be included). If your systems C library implements the second widely available approach (X/Opens catgets) the library will use this and only some stubs will be compiled to provide the needed interface. If neither is locally available a full implementation of the library will be compiled.
