| <h1>Footnotes</h1> |
| <h3><a name="FOOT1" href="gettext_1.html#DOCF1">(1)</a></h3> |
| <p>In this manual, all mentions of Emacs |
| refers to either GNU Emacs or to XEmacs, which people sometimes call FSF |
| Emacs and Lucid Emacs, respectively. |
| </p><h3><a name="FOOT2" href="gettext_3.html#DOCF2">(2)</a></h3> |
| <p>This |
| limitation is not imposed by GNU <code>gettext</code>, but is for compatibility |
| with the <code>msgfmt</code> implementation on Solaris. |
| </p><h3><a name="FOOT3" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF3">(3)</a></h3> |
| <p>Some |
| system, e.g. mingw, don't have <code>LC_MESSAGES</code>. Here we use a more or |
| less arbitrary value for it, namely 1729, the smallest positive integer |
| which can be represented in two different ways as the sum of two cubes. |
| </p><h3><a name="FOOT4" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF4">(4)</a></h3> |
| <p>When the system does not support <code>setlocale</code> its behavior |
| in setting the locale values is simulated by looking at the environment |
| variables. |
| </p><h3><a name="FOOT5" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF5">(5)</a></h3> |
| <p>Additions are welcome. Send appropriate information to |
| <a href="mailto:bug-gettext@gnu.org">bug-gettext@gnu.org</a> and <a href="mailto:bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org">bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org</a>. |
| The Unicode CLDR Project (<a href="http://cldr.unicode.org">http://cldr.unicode.org</a>) provides a |
| comprehensive set of plural forms in a different format. The |
| <code>msginit</code> program has preliminary support for the format so you can |
| use it as a baseline (see section <a href="gettext_6.html#SEC54">Invoking the <code>msginit</code> Program</a>). |
| </p><h3><a name="FOOT6" href="gettext_13.html#DOCF6">(6)</a></h3> |
| <p>you can also use it through the |
| ‘<samp>MSGMERGE_OPTIONS</samp>’ option from ‘<tt>Makevars</tt>’ |
| </p><h3><a name="FOOT7" href="gettext_16.html#DOCF7">(7)</a></h3> |
| <p>Note that the file name matching is done after |
| removing any <code>.in</code> suffix from the input file name. Thus the |
| <code>pattern</code> attribute must not include a pattern matching <code>.in</code>. |
| For example, if the input file name is ‘<tt>foo.msg.in</tt>’, the pattern |
| should be either <code>*.msg</code> or just <code>*</code>, rather than |
| <code>*.in</code>. |
