My apologies to the project and Alexey, After stumbling upon setlocale(3), I found a reference to catopen(3) and childs, and finally figured out there is plenty of message catalog support in FreeBSD (we don't need a gettext substitute, we already have one!). So we can start translation of the libh output. This will not be easy, but I think it will be a good thing. I will start taking a look at how to do this soon, but if anyone has suggestions, I'm a taker. One of the first things to do would be to create a _() macro that would use catgets() to return messages wherever necessary, and that might include the .cd.cc files which undoubtedly cause a big translation problem. Same for any TCL script. Also note that I don't intend to make boot floppies carry all languages. :) That will have to be language-specific distros. <sigh> I thought I had avoided that issue elegantly. ;) A.
