## Chapter 25. Internationalization and localization with gettext

The `gettext` toolset supports internationalization and localization of SCons-based projects. Builders provided by `gettext` automatize generation and updates of translation files. You can manage translations and translation templates similarly to how it's done with autotools.

## 25.1. Prerequisites

To follow examples provided in this chapter set up your operating system to support two or more languages. In following examples we use locales `en_US`, `de_DE`, and `pl_PL`.

Ensure, that you have GNU gettext utilities installed on your system.

To edit translation files you may wish to install poedit editor.
