Things we plan to do. Comments welcome.
-- Respect the GNU standard targets in intl/Makefile.in and po/Makefile.in.in.
-
- Document bash-2.04's $"..." facility and the associated 2 environment
variables.
-- Document that gettext requires the LC_MESSAGES category (or LANGUAGE
- override) and LC_CTYPE category to be set correctly via setlocale.
-
- Merge clisp specific changes.
-- Work towards integration with automake.
-
-- Stop documenting AM_WITH_NLS. AM_GNU_GETTEXT is the right macro to use.
-
- Documentation: Distinguish more clearly between gettext/xgettext,
the Translation Project for GNU packages, and the PO mode.
- KDE wants a kind of gettext2("role","msg") function whose key is the
concatenation of "role" and "msg" but whose default value is only "msg".
-- Add msvc Makefile.
-
- Look at Christian Robottom Reis's manual:
http://www.async.com.br/~kiko/gettext.html
http://i18n.kde.org/translation-howto/gui-specialized-apps.html
http://i18n.kde.org/tools/kbabel/
-- New programs:
-
- msginit
- create initial PO file from POT file.
-
- Rewrite doc node "Compendium", discuss functionality, then check
implementation and add Karl's new tests.
