The standard syntax would be: - - gencat ee.cat ee.msg - -Where ee.msg is the file containing the translations, and ee.cat is the -compiled catalog. If the file ee.cat does not exist, it will be created. -Check the documentation for your system for proper syntax. - -Message catalog placement varies from system to system. A common location -for message catalogs is in /usr/lib/nls. In this directory are -directories with the names of other languages. The default language is -'C'. There is also an environment variable, named NLSPATH used to -determine where message catalogs can be found. This variable is similar -to the PATH variable used for commands, but with some differences. The -NLSPATH variable must have the ability to handle different names for -languages and the catalog files, so it has field descriptors for these. A -typical setting for NLSPATH could be: - - NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/%L/%N.cat:/usr/local/lib/nls/%L/%N.cat - -Where "%L" is the field descriptor for the language (obtained from the -LANG environment variable) and "%N" is the name of the file (with the -".cat" appended by the path variable, it is not passed from the requesting -program). The colon (:) is used to separate paths, so in the above -example there are two paths possible for message catalogs. You may wish -to maintain catalogs for applications that are not supported by your -system vendor in a location unique for you, and this is facilitated by the -NLSPATH variable. Remember to set and export both the LANG and NLSPATH -variables for each user that expects to use localization either in a -system-wide profile or in each user's profile. See your system -documentation for more information. - -The message catalog supplied with ee also uses the '$quote' directive to -specify a quote around strings to ensure proper padding. This directive -may not be supported on all systems, and lead to quotes being included in -the string used in ee, which will cause incorrect behavior. If the -'$quote' directive is not supported by your system's gencat command, edit -the msg file to remove the leading and trailing quotation marks. |
