Languages are not equally supported in all GNU packages. To know
if some GNU package uses GNU gettext, one may check
the distribution for the `NLS' information file, for some
`ll.po' files, often kept together into some `po/'
directory, or for an `intl/' directory. Internationalized
packages have usually many `ll.po' files, where ll
represents the language. section Magic for End Users for a complete description
of the format for ll.
More generally, a matrix is available for showing the current state
of GNU internationalization, listing which packages are prepared
for multi-lingual messages, and which languages is supported by each.
Because this information changes often, this matrix is not kept within
this GNU gettext manual. This information is often found in
file `NLS' from various GNU distributions, but is also as old
as the distribution itself. A recent copy of this `NLS' file,
containing up-to-date information, should generally be found on most
GNU archive sites.
