| <p>By default, packages fully using GNU <code>gettext</code>, internally, | |
| are installed in such a way as to allow translation of | |
| messages. At <em>configuration</em> time, those packages should | |
| automatically detect whether the underlying host system already provides | |
| the GNU <code>gettext</code> functions. If not, | |
| the GNU <code>gettext</code> library should be automatically prepared | |
| and used. Installers may use special options at configuration | |
| time for changing this behavior. The command ‘<samp>./configure | |
| --with-included-gettext</samp>’ bypasses system <code>gettext</code> to | |
| use the included GNU <code>gettext</code> instead, | |
| while ‘<samp>./configure --disable-nls</samp>’ | |
| produces programs totally unable to translate messages. | |
| </p> | |
| <a name="IDX1108"></a> | |
| <p>Internationalized packages have usually many ‘<tt><var>ll</var>.po</tt>’ | |
| files. Unless | |
| translations are disabled, all those available are installed together | |
| with the package. However, the environment variable <code>LINGUAS</code> | |
| may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set. | |
| <code>LINGUAS</code> should then contain a space separated list of two-letter | |
| codes, stating which languages are allowed. | |
