16.4 The Maintainer's View
==========================

   For the maintainer, the general procedure differs from the C language
case:

   • If only a single programming language is used, the
     ‘XGETTEXT_OPTIONS’ variable in ‘po/Makevars’ (*note po/Makevars::)
     should be adjusted to match the ‘xgettext’ options for that
     particular programming language.  If the package uses more than one
     programming language with ‘gettext’ support, it becomes necessary
     to change the POT file construction rule in ‘po/Makefile.in.in’.
     It is recommended to make one ‘xgettext’ invocation per programming
     language, each with the options appropriate for that language, and
     to combine the resulting files using ‘msgcat’.
