Tcl and i18n

[Sylvain Beucler <beuc@beuc.net>]

Hi mentors,

I'm working on the page-crunch package, a Tcl/Tk frontend for psnup
and other utilities.

There is a new version that comes with English and French l10n using
msgcat::, but the program assumes that the msgcat file (e.g. "fr.msg")
lies in the same directory than the script (eg /usr/bin in the
package..) - which is not acceptable here.

So I have 2 questions:

- Is there a standard (FHS) location for msgcat files? Those are not
  .mo files.. Maybe /usr/share/nls?

  Locate doesn't help :/

  $ locate fr.msg
  /usr/lib/tk8.4/msgs/en.msg


- More generally did any Tcl packager have to face i18n issues? Can
  you point me to existing packages?

Thanks! :)
