automake: gettext

1 10.2 Gettext
1 ============
1 
1 If ‘AM_GNU_GETTEXT’ is seen in ‘configure.ac’, then Automake turns on
1 support for GNU gettext, a message catalog system for
1 internationalization (⇒Introduction (gettext)Top.).
1 
1    The ‘gettext’ support in Automake requires the addition of one or two
1 subdirectories to the package: ‘po’ and possibly also ‘intl’.  The
1 latter is needed if ‘AM_GNU_GETTEXT’ is not invoked with the ‘external’
1 argument, or if ‘AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR’ is used.  Automake ensures
1 that these directories exist and are mentioned in ‘SUBDIRS’.
