NAME

internat − introduction to internationalization operations

SYNTAX

any of the internationalization commands

DESCRIPTION

The internationalization package gives a convenient method for writing or converting applications so that they can operate in the application user’s native language.  The package consists of tools for the creation and modification of message catalogues, a set of library functions, an international compiler that creates language support databases from special source files, and an announcement and initialization mechanism. The final part of the package is a set of internationalized C library functions that allow the internationalized applications to run. 

NOTE

When a C program is compiled, the −li option must be used to include the internationalization library.  The following command line includes the internationalization library:

cc −li −o prog prog.c
