This is not the gettext you are looking for. GNU gettext provides a set of tools that create a framework to help other GNU packages produce multi-lingual messages. In this way, with suitable care a single binary application can automatically provide user messages (such as `help' text) in the language corresponding to the current locale settings. This msys port of gettext has been modified specifically for the MSYS System Builder environment; that is, it is intended to be used only when producing binary packages for the MSYS subsystem. If you intend to produce executables for the native "mingw32" subsystem (that is, applications that should work on Microsoft Windows installations without the MSYS dll), then you should install the mingw32-gettext-* package(s) instead. The msys-gettext package provides utilities that may be useful to end-users, allowing interaction with the message translation database of other i18n-enabled GNU utilities. It also provides the development libraries, header files, and documentation for the gettext system, as well as additional utilities useful for maintainers of i18n-enabled applications. The *-ext package provides extra documentation, in the form of example implementations in many different computer languages. The associated msys-libgettextpo package provides the runtime libraries needed by the msys-gettext utilities; the associated msys-libasprintf package provides the runtime library for the asprintf utility library; and finally, the associated msys-libintl package provides the runtime component of the internationalization library itself, which is used by many other msys packages. This is not the libintl you are looking for. GNU gettext provides a set of tools that create a framework to help other GNU packages produce multi-lingual messages. In this way, with suitable care a single binary application can automatically provide user messages (such as `help' text) in the language corresponding to the current locale settings. libintl is the primary runtime component of that framework.

In this way, with suitable care a single binary application can automatically provide user messages (such as `help' text) in the language corresponding to the current locale settings. libgettextpo provides runtime support for the gettext utilities; it is typically not needed by `regular' i18n clients of libintl.

In this way, with suitable care a single binary application can automatically provide user messages (such as `help' text) in the language corresponding to the current locale settings. libasprintf provides an implementation of the C formatted output routines suitable for use in C++ applications, where i18n is a goal.
