Multilingual internationalization services
==========================================

Multilingual internationalization services.  This module was written by
Barry A. Warsaw <barry@digicool.com>.
This manual section was written by Barry A. Warsaw <barry@digicool.com>.
The `gettext' module provides internationalization (I18N) and
localization (L10N) services for your Python modules and applications.
It supports both the GNU `gettext' message catalog API and a higher
level, class-based API that may be more appropriate for Python files.
The interface described below allows you to write your module and
application messages in one natural language, and provide a catalog of
translated messages for running under different natural languages.

Some hints on localizing your Python modules and applications are also
given.
