gettext is the GNU package which provides 'national language support' for other programs. It includes a number of utility programs.
Important behavioral update. [[ compiled using gcc-4.5.3-2 and g++-4.5.3-2 ]] Changes since gettext-0.18.1.1-1 ======================================== * Built using gcc-4.5 * No longer override cygwin default locale behavior - This also means that only those locales supported by cygwin may be used. In the past, libintl interpreted LC_* strings more generously, and translated (e.g.) "fr" to "fr_FR". Now, you must use the full language_country form (.charset and @variant are still optional). See 'locale -a' for the full list of cygwin-supported locales. * Incorporated patch from upstream gnulib to improve efficiency of libintl_relocate() for the --disable-relocation case. -- Charles Wilson volunteer gettext maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
