Re: intltool and charset.alias

[Laurent Vivier <Laurent Vivier bull net>]

Hello Jacob,

charset.alias supplies the translation of the charset names on the
current system. This name is used with iconv and is system dependent.
For instance, iconv from linux calls some charsets like "ISO-8859-1",
"ISO-8859-2" or "EUC-JP", but iconv from AIX needs to be used with
"ISO8859-1", "ISO8859-2" and "IBM-eucJP", from HP-UX with "iso88591",
"iso88592", and "eucJP", and so on for irix or solaris.

charset.alias is provided by glib or gettext.

A warning is never really needed... ;-)
