63 <p>By default, packages fully using GNU <code>gettext</code>, internally,
|
|
jpayne@68
|
64 are installed in such a way as to allow translation of
|
|
jpayne@68
|
65 messages. At <em>configuration</em> time, those packages should
|
|
jpayne@68
|
66 automatically detect whether the underlying host system already provides
|
|
jpayne@68
|
67 the GNU <code>gettext</code> functions. If not,
|
|
jpayne@68
|
68 the GNU <code>gettext</code> library should be automatically prepared
|
|
jpayne@68
|
69 and used. Installers may use special options at configuration
|
|
jpayne@68
|
70 time for changing this behavior. The command ‘<samp>./configure
|
|
jpayne@68
|
71 --with-included-gettext</samp>’ bypasses system <code>gettext</code> to
|
|
jpayne@68
|
72 use the included GNU <code>gettext</code> instead,
|
|
jpayne@68
|
73 while ‘<samp>./configure --disable-nls</samp>’
|
|
jpayne@68
|
74 produces programs totally unable to translate messages.

jpayne@68

77 <p>Internationalized packages have usually many ‘<tt><var>ll</var>.po</tt>’
|
|
jpayne@68
|
78 files. Unless
|
|
jpayne@68
|
79 translations are disabled, all those available are installed together
|
|
jpayne@68
|
80 with the package. However, the environment variable <code>LINGUAS</code>
|
|
jpayne@68
|
81 may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
82 <code>LINGUAS</code> should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
|
|
jpayne@68
|
83 codes, stating which languages are allowed.
