# Module Locale.Gettext

Description

  This module enables access to localization functions from within Pike.

Note

  The message conversion functions in this module do not handle Unicode strings. They only provide thin wrappers to `gettext(3)` etc, which means strings are assumed to be encoded according to the `LC_*` and `LANG` variables. See the docs for `gettext(3)` for details.
