non-ASCII letters in identifiers.
Not all of GCC's diagnostic messages have been internationalized. Programs
-like `enquire' and `genattr' (in fact all gen* programs) are not
-internationalized, as their users are GCC maintainers who typically need to
-be able to read English anyway; internationalizing them would thus entail
-needless work for the human translators. Messages used for debugging, such
-as used in dumped tables, should also not be translated.
+like `genattr' (in fact all gen* programs) are not internationalized, as
+their users are GCC maintainers who typically need to be able to read
+English anyway; internationalizing them would thus entail needless work for
+the human translators. Messages used for debugging, such as used in dumped

The GCC library should not contain any messages that need
internationalization, because it operates below the internationalization
library.
-Currently, the only language translation supplied is en_UK (British English).
-
Unlike some other GNU programs, the GCC sources contain few instances
of explicit translation calls like _("string"). Instead, the
diagnostic printing routines automatically translate their arguments.
By convention, any function parameter in the GCC sources whose name
ends in `msgid' is expected to be a message requiring translation.
-For example, the `error' function's first parameter is named `msgid'.
+If the parameter name ends with `gmsgid', it is assumed to be a GCC
+diagnostics format string requiring translation, if it ends with
+`cmsgid', it is assumed to be a format string for `printf' family
+of functions, requiring a translation.
+For example, the `error' function's first parameter is named `gmsgid'.
GCC's exgettext script uses this convention to determine which
function parameter strings need to be translated. The exgettext
script also assumes that any occurrence of `%eMSGID}' on a source
line, where MSGID does not contain `%' or `}', corresponds to a
message MSGID that requires translation; this is needed to identify
diagnostics in GCC spec strings.
+The `G_(GMSGID)' macro defined in intl.h can be used to mark GCC diagnostics
+format strings as requiring translation, but other than that it is a
+no-op at runtime.
-If you modify source files, you'll need to use a special
-version of the GNU gettext package to propagate the modifications to the
-translation tables.
-
-Paul Eggerts original patches have been incorporated into the official
-gettext CVS. These sources may be accessed via anonymous cvs. The root for
-the gettext CVS is :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/gettext
-Password is `anoncvs' like for the GCC CVS. After having retrieved the
-sources, you have to apply the following patch, which is pending approval by
-the gettext maintainer.
-
-After having built and installed these gettext tools, you have to configure
-GCC with --enable-maintainer-mode to get the master catalog rebuilt.
