Using a common +language is quite handy for communication between developers, +maintainers and users from all countries. On the other hand, most +people are less comfortable with English than with their own native +language, and would rather be using their mother tongue for day to +day's work, as far as possible. Many would simply love seeing their +computer screen showing a lot less of English, and far more of their +own language. + +GNU `gettext' is an important step for the GNU Translation Project, as +bit is an asset on which we may build many other steps. This package +offers to programmers, translators, and even users, a well integrated +set of tools and documentation. Specifically, the GNU `gettext' +utilities are a set of tools that provides a framework to help other +GNU packages produce multi-lingual messages.") + (license "GPLv3"))) ; some files are under GPLv2+ |
