    I am a Chinese user of MinGW on Windows. I want GCC to write out compiling messages in Chinese.
    After some search and analysis on Internet, I realized that I should enable MinGW's national language support
    (NLS). I typed command "gcc -v", and noticed that gcc 5.3.0 in MinGW-w64 was configured with "--disable-nls".

    So, my question is, how could I switch "--enable-nls" on and install lanugage packge?

      Hallo,

      the NLS support is disabled by a lot of precompiled toolchains. This has
      different reasons.
      First one is of course the package size. But as far as I recall there was
      an issue for buildling NLS for native binutils & gcc. AFAI remember this
      was in context of 5.3 ...
      Anyway, the way to get NLS support is either to build toolchain yourself,
      or choosing a prebuild toolchain having this feature enabled.

      Regards
      Kai

        Thanks for your reply.

        I will download some personal builds of MinGW-w64 of version 5.3 and check which one has "--enable-nls".
