[joe] i18n of JOE

[Marek G. <xg...@in...>]

Hi,

	so I'm looking forward on your ideas how to solve i18n in
	JOE. There are 4 things (as far as I know) which we need.

	1) help files
	2) messages
	3) status line
	4) reply of the user (yes/no; replace/find/ignore)

	1) help files could be done through several files, each for one
		language. Directory help/ will be created and there will
		be all help files. The only thing which needs to be done
		is to rewrite procrc() to handle with %locale% which will
		be replaced by curent LC_MESSAGE
	2) messages can be done by gettext, I think this should be quite
		easy.
	3) status line, I'm not quite sure how to do it. Perhaps marking
		it as 'this needs to be translated' and it will be
		translated from gettext catalogue.
	4) I believe that it would be fine to accept characters which are
		usuall for this country. Marking yes as ^yes, replace as
		^replace should be easy implement. And when printing ^
		will be removed and character after ^ will be answer.

 
	any comments, ideas, ... send to list.
