1 15.2 The Programmer’s View
1 ==========================
1 
1    For the programmer, the general procedure is the same as for the C
1 language.  The Emacs PO mode marking supports other languages, and the
1 GNU ‘xgettext’ string extractor recognizes other languages based on the
1 file extension or a command-line option.  In some languages, ‘setlocale’
1 is not needed because it is already performed by the underlying language
1 runtime.
