| 64 | The <tt class="module">gettext</tt> module provides internationalization (I18N) and | |
| 65 | localization (L10N) services for your Python modules and applications. | |
| 66 | It supports both the GNU <code>gettext</code> message catalog API and a | |
| 67 | higher level, class-based API that may be more appropriate for Python | |
| 68 | files. The interface described below allows you to write your | |
| 69 | module and application messages in one natural language, and provide a | |
| 70 | catalog of translated messages for running under different natural | |
| 71 | languages. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | <P> | |
| 74 | Some hints on localizing your Python modules and applications are also | |
| 75 | given. | |
