jpayne@68: jpayne@68:

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

Internationalized packages have usually many ‘ll.po’ jpayne@68: files. Unless jpayne@68: translations are disabled, all those available are installed together jpayne@68: with the package. However, the environment variable LINGUAS jpayne@68: may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set. jpayne@68: LINGUAS should then contain a space separated list of two-letter jpayne@68: codes, stating which languages are allowed. jpayne@68:
