Re: [Translation-i18n] pgettext() availability in Debian?

Hello Clytie,

Thanks for the forward. You know I cannot read so many mailing lists :-)

The manual [1] says:
  "The gettext.h include file contains the lookup macros for strings with
   contexts..."

The gettext.h file is documented in [2]. In particular,
  "Do not install the gettext.h file in public locations. Every package
   that needs it should contain a copy of it on its own."

You get a copy of gettext.h either from
  /usr/include/share/gettext/gettext.h
(if it's missing there, it's a packaging bug of the Debian package), or from
gnulib [3] module 'gettext-h' [4].
