Thanks for the info. OK, after much trial and error I now have some i18n features implemented in a single program 3 simple questions: 1. Where are discussions about i18n and l10n "on-topic"? is gnu.misc.discuss the right place? I could not find any active newsgroups with discussions of i18n, bot comp.std.internat and comp.software.international seem inactive. 2. What do "po" and "mo" stand for? just curious 3. Currently I am testing my i18n features by invoking, e.g., export LANG=es at the command line. My spanish translation shows up fine, but it uses, i think, the default RedHat 7 character set. How do I change the character set in my xterms to be, say, iso-8859 so that things like accented characters have a better chance of showing up correctly? export LANG=es changes all of the LC_* tokens, but apparently the xterm still uses the ascii character set. I want to know how to tell a given xterm to really be a spanish/french/... xterm and use the correct character set and keyboard mapping.
