| 56 | 6.27.3 Access to message catalogs | |
| 57 | </H2> | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | <P> | |
| 60 | The locale module exposes the C library's gettext interface on systems | |
| 61 | that provide this interface. It consists of the functions | |
| 62 | <tt class="function">gettext()</tt>, <tt class="function">dgettext()</tt>, <tt class="function">dcgettext()</tt>, | |
| 63 | <tt class="function">textdomain()</tt>, <tt class="function">bindtextdomain()</tt>, and | |
| 64 | <tt class="function">bind_textdomain_codeset()</tt>. These are similar to the same | |
| 65 | functions in the <tt class="module"><a href="module-gettext.html">gettext</a></tt> module, but use the C library's | |
| 66 | binary format for message catalogs, and the C library's search | |
| 67 | algorithms for locating message catalogs. | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | <P> | |
| 70 | Python applications should normally find no need to invoke these | |
| 71 | functions, and should use <tt class="module"><a href="module-gettext.html">gettext</a></tt> instead. A known | |
| 72 | exception to this rule are applications that link use additional C | |
| 73 | libraries which internally invoke <tt class="cfunction">gettext()</tt> or | |
| 74 | <tt class="function">dcgettext()</tt>. For these applications, it may be necessary to | |
| 75 | bind the text domain, so that the libraries can properly locate their | |
| 76 | message catalogs. | |
