@{ Welcome to the wonderful world of
  INTERNATIONALIZATION (i18n).

  This unit provides the powerful mechanism of national language
  support by accessing @samp{.mo} files and locale information.

  It includes:
    locales (not xlocales) and libintl.

  See documentation for gettext (@samp{info gettext}) for details.

  Because GPC can deal with both CStrings and Pascal Strings, there
  is an interface for both types of arguments and function results
  with slightly different names.

  E.g. for Pascal strings:

    function GetText (const MsgId: String): TString;

  And the same as above, but with a C interface:

    function GetTextC (MsgId: CString): CString;

  @samp{PLConv} in Pascal is very different from @samp{struct lconv *} in C.
  Element names do not have underscores and have sometimes different
  sizes. The conversion is done automatically and has correct
  results.

  Furthermore, we have a tool similar to @samp{xgettext} to extract all
  strings out of a Pascal source. It extracts the strings and writes
  a complete @samp{.po} file to a file. See
  http://www.gnu-pascal.de/contrib/eike/
  The filename is pas2po-VERSION.tar.gz.
