- I am writing up some work on a multi-lingual user interface to a piece
- of software used in a non-UNIX environment. I am aware that some work on
- internationalization was been done within POSIX, but most of my available
- references are several years old. The version of Ultrix that we run at
- this site has support for this kind of thing via library calls to
- functions such as:
- catopen, catclose, catgets, and catgetmsg
-
- and some tools to produce catalogs and translations from existing source
- files:
- gencat, trans, and extract
-
-
- What I am asking is, do these facilities reflect the current POSIX way of doing
- things, and, if so, are catalog manipulating tools part of the standard, too?
- Any recent references to use of these features in practice would also be
- welcome.
