Submitted-by: djb@ukc.ac.uk I am writing up some work on a multi-lingual user interface to a piece of software used in a non-UNIX environment. I am aware that some work on internationalization was been done within POSIX, but most of my available references are several years old. The version of Ultrix that we run at this site has support for this kind of thing via library calls to functions such as: catopen, catclose, catgets, and catgetmsg and some tools to produce catalogs and translations from existing source files: gencat, trans, and extract What I am asking is, do these facilities reflect the current POSIX way of doing things, and, if so, are catalog manipulating tools part of the standard, too? Any recent references to use of these features in practice would also be welcome. David Barnes Volume-Number: Volume 23, Number 16
