Title: Gettext Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:gettext URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT In computing, gettext is an internationalization and localization system commonly used for writing multilingual programs on Unix-like computer operating systems. One of the main benefits of gettext is that it separates programming from translating. The most commonly used implementation of gettext is GNU gettext, released by the GNU Project in 1995. The runtime library is libintl. gettext provides an option to use different strings for any number of plural forms of nouns, but this feature has no support for grammatical gender. The main filename extensions used by this system are .POT, .PO and .MO.
