Hi,
beginning with version 0.13, GNU gettext has full support for Perl
scripts, with libintl-perl (http://search.cpan.org/dist/libintl-perl/)
there is a stable runtime environment for gettext like message
translation in Perl, and with yours truly there is somebody available
that would volunteer to make the necessary modifications for
internationalizing automake.
It is possible to do the internationalization in such a way, that
automake would still run without libintl-perl being installed. License
problems should not be an issue, libintl-perl is distributed under the
LGPL. As for the required Perl version, Perl 5.004 is sufficient for
libintl-perl.
Comments?
Guido
