In this manual, all mentions of Emacs jpayne@68: refers to either GNU Emacs or to XEmacs, which people sometimes call FSF jpayne@68: Emacs and Lucid Emacs, respectively. jpayne@68:
This
jpayne@68: limitation is not imposed by GNU gettext, but is for compatibility
jpayne@68: with the msgfmt implementation on Solaris.
jpayne@68:
Some
jpayne@68: system, e.g. mingw, don't have LC_MESSAGES. Here we use a more or
jpayne@68: less arbitrary value for it, namely 1729, the smallest positive integer
jpayne@68: which can be represented in two different ways as the sum of two cubes.
jpayne@68:
When the system does not support setlocale its behavior
jpayne@68: in setting the locale values is simulated by looking at the environment
jpayne@68: variables.

Additions are welcome. Send appropriate information to

jpayne@68: The Unicode CLDR Project (http://cldr.unicode.org) provides a
jpayne@68: comprehensive set of plural forms in a different format. The
jpayne@68: msginit program has preliminary support for the format so you can
jpayne@68: use it as a baseline (see section Invoking the msginit Program).
jpayne@68:
you can also use it through the jpayne@68: ‘MSGMERGE_OPTIONS’ option from ‘Makevars’ jpayne@68:
Note that the file name matching is done after
jpayne@68: removing any .in suffix from the input file name. Thus the
jpayne@68: pattern attribute must not include a pattern matching .in.
jpayne@68: For example, if the input file name is ‘foo.msg.in’, the pattern
jpayne@68: should be either *.msg or just *, rather than
jpayne@68: *.in.
