DESCRIPTION
The module Locale::gettext_xs is the low-level interface to message
translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used
in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.
The module does not necessarily work on your system. It depends on the
presence of shared libraries that are not always available. The
higher-level modules Locale::TextDomain::(3), resp.
Locale::Messages(3) will fall back to a pure Perl version if
boostrapping Locale::gettext_xs fails.
The interface of Locale::gettext_xs is mostly identical to the pure
Perl version as described in Locale::gettext_pp(3), see there for
details. Differences are outlined below.
Locale::gettext_xs is downwards compatible to Locale::gettext(3) by
Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET>. You can use it as replacement for
Locale::gettext(3).
Please note that directory names passed to the function
bindtextdomain() are automatically converted from Perl semantics (slash
as directory separator) to local semantics (for example the backslash
for MS-DOS).
