Localization and Autotools

Thanks for your reply. maybe I was too unspecific, but this is not what I was looking for. Imagine the following situation: I have a already created piece of software that has English localization and comes with Autotools configuration. I'd like to understand the steps I have to go through to add an e.g. french localization as well. What are the things I need to look at (e.g. by changing the configuration, add something etc), to have Autotools package take care on the newly added fr.po file (translate it intot an fr.gmo file, copy it to the local language folder etc). Hopefully this will make it clearer?

Cheers,
Max

       french - a list of french words

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/share/dict/french is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.

FILES

       /etc/alternatives/dictionary  is  a  symbolic  link  to	a  /usr/share/dict/<language>  file.   /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
       /etc/alternatives/dictionary, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list.  See update-alternatives(8) for
       more information.

       The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/ameri-
       can-english and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of English and Danish words if they exist.  Such lists  should  be  coded
       using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding.
