    gettext in windows

    Hello,

    I have some programs which are developed on Linux and uses gettext for
    the language support.
    While they run without problem on a win32 platform i haven't a clue how
    to get the gettext stuff working.
    Also locale settings are different.

    Can somebody give me some pointers on how this sort of thing is
    implemented in windows?
    I must also confess that i have problems installing GNU/gettext on windows
    I'm quite clueless on windows :-)

    Thanks,

    Stas

    You need gettext + iconv, get it from GNU site. Unpack zip archive to
    any directory according to your taste (c:\gnu seems to be reasonable
    proposition), then add (install-dir)\bin directory to PATH.
