+/* Note the use of dgetext() and PACKAGE here, rather than gettext().
+
+ This is because the code in this directory is used to build a library which
+ will be linked with code in other directories to form programs. We want to
+ maintain a seperate translation file for this directory however, rather
+ than being forced to merge it with that of any program linked to libbfd.
+ This is a library, so it cannot depend on the catalog currently loaded.
+
+ In order to do this, we have to make sure that when we extract messages we
+ use the OPCODES domain rather than the domain of the program that included
+ the bfd library, (eg OBJDUMP). Hence we use dgettext (PACKAGE, String)
+ and define PACKAGE to be 'bfd'. (See the code in configure). */
