Well, from what I could tell at first sight, libintl doesn't have a msg* commands to format catalogs, just gettext library functions.

I don't think so. > It is. Almost. As soon as I get finished with testing Citrus's libintl. I could help in porting it if needs arises, but I have close to no knowledge to NetBSD's source. :) > > I'm not worried about locale (dates, strings), but translation of output > > language. > :-) You don't need to worry about locale because It Just Works. That I know. No problem with that. It's just the message catalog management I need to find.
