NGETTEXT(1)

NAME

ngettext − TNT access to gettext(3)

SYNOPSIS

ngettext [ -display display ]

DESCRIPTION

ngettext is a daemon to provide TNT applications access to the system message translation facility (gettext(3)) from the server-side NeWS code. 
 

BUGS

There is a noticable communications overhead when accessing this facility.  If the string originates on the client side, it is better to translate it directly before sending it to the server.  The cps(1) ‘-lon’ option facilitates this when the string is embedded in NeWS code.
