`gawk' Can Speak Your Language
==============================

   As of version 3.1, `gawk' itself has been internationalized using
the GNU `gettext' package.  (GNU `gettext' is described in complete
detail in Note: Top.)  As of this writing, the latest version of GNU
`gettext' is version 0.10.37
(ftp://gnudist.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.10.37.tar.gz).

   If a translation of `gawk''s messages exists, then `gawk' produces
usage messages, warnings, and fatal errors in the local language.

   On systems that do not use version 2 (or later) of the GNU C
library, you should configure `gawk' with the `--with-included-gettext'
option before compiling and installing it.  Note: Additional
Configuration Options, for more information.
