13.6 'gawk' Can Speak Your Language
===================================

'gawk' itself has been internationalized using the GNU 'gettext'
package.  (GNU 'gettext' is described in complete detail in *Note GNU
'gettext' utilities: (gettext)Top.)  As of this writing, the latest
version of GNU 'gettext' is version 0.19.8.1
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.19.8.1.tar.gz).

   If a translation of 'gawk''s messages exists, then 'gawk' produces
usage messages, warnings, and fatal errors in the local language.
