Re: Localisation...

Arturo> Are we sure gettext and setlocale are POSIX?

I don't have the POSIX std here, so I can't be sure.  But here is my
understanding:

* setlocale() is POSIX  (but, as I say, perhaps this is wrong)
* POSIX was unable to choose between two competing message catalog
  interfaces, and so did not choose one.
  We are using gettext.  Other people use the "catgets" family of
  functions.
  IMNSHO, gettext is superior in every way.  I believe the gettext
  manual has a discussion of this.

Arturo> May be we could ask before tell "GNOME supports POSIX i18n".

I wouldn't bother saying that, since it isn't exactly a selling
point.  No user cares how it works, just that it does work.
