Was checking if > gettext-tiny might replace them, but doesn't seem to supply the gettext-tiny is currently working as a stub that bounces back the original english message. however msgfmt and msgmerge use a full blown .po parser that can easily be adapted to do the translation thing. you are welcome to do the work (as long as you dont use C++)! > functionality used by the Open Source program I was trying to compile. > Doesn't even get past the configure tests. which program was that ? the main idea behind gettext-tiny is that it should make all configure scripts happy. so this is a bug, please report details here or open an issue on the github repo.
