Re: language support

["hursh" <hursh@sparc.isl.net>]

	I was just curious.  Is gettext compliant with some standard or is it standard as in being the GNU standard?  (I remember once being told the readline was "standard" and being that readline was(is?) GPL, it implied that only GPL code could be "standard".)  I'm curious if there is a published standard way of handling multi-language support.
