53 <p>In this manual, all mentions of Emacs
|
|
jpayne@68
|
54 refers to either GNU Emacs or to XEmacs, which people sometimes call FSF
|
|
jpayne@68
|
55 Emacs and Lucid Emacs, respectively.

56 </p><h3><a name="FOOT2" href="gettext_3.html#DOCF2">(2)</a></h3>
|
|
jpayne@68
|
57 <p>This
|
|
jpayne@68
|
58 limitation is not imposed by GNU <code>gettext</code>, but is for compatibility
|
|
jpayne@68
|
59 with the <code>msgfmt</code> implementation on Solaris.

|
jpayne@68
|
61 <p>Some
|
|
jpayne@68
|
62 system, e.g. mingw, don't have <code>LC_MESSAGES</code>. Here we use a more or
|
|
jpayne@68
|
63 less arbitrary value for it, namely 1729, the smallest positive integer
|
|
jpayne@68
|
64 which can be represented in two different ways as the sum of two cubes.

65 </p><h3><a name="FOOT4" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF4">(4)</a></h3>
|
|
jpayne@68
|
66 <p>When the system does not support <code>setlocale</code> its behavior
|
|
jpayne@68
|
67 in setting the locale values is simulated by looking at the environment
|
|
jpayne@68
|
68 variables.

72 The Unicode CLDR Project (<a href="http://cldr.unicode.org">http://cldr.unicode.org</a>) provides a
|
|
jpayne@68
|
73 comprehensive set of plural forms in a different format. The
|
|
jpayne@68
|
74 <code>msginit</code> program has preliminary support for the format so you can
|
|
jpayne@68
|
75 use it as a baseline (see section <a href="gettext_6.html#SEC46">Invoking the <code>msginit</code> Program</a>).
|

jpayne@68
|
76 </p><h3><a name="FOOT6" href="gettext_13.html#DOCF6">(6)</a></h3>
|
|
jpayne@68
|
77 <p>you can also use it through the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
78 ‘<samp>MSGMERGE_OPTIONS</samp>’ option from ‘<tt>Makevars</tt>’
|
|
jpayne@68
|
79 </p><h3><a name="FOOT7" href="gettext_16.html#DOCF7">(7)</a></h3>
|
|
jpayne@68
|
80 <p>Note that the file name matching is done after
|
|
jpayne@68
|
81 removing any <code>.in</code> suffix from the input file name. Thus the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
82 <code>pattern</code> attribute must not include a pattern matching <code>.in</code>.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
83 For example, if the input file name is ‘<tt>foo.msg.in</tt>’, the pattern
|
|
jpayne@68
|
84 should be either <code>*.msg</code> or just <code>*</code>, rather than
|
|
jpayne@68
|
85 <code>*.in</code>.
