16.2 The Programmer's View
==========================

   For the programmer, the general procedure is the same as for the C
language.  The Emacs PO mode marking supports other languages, and the
GNU ‘xgettext’ string extractor recognizes other languages based on the
file extension or a command-line option.  In some languages, ‘setlocale’
is not needed because it is already performed by the underlying language
runtime.
