This paper describes the current status of internationalization in
the GNU project. It will be shown what is already used
in most programs and what programmers could add. The reader will
find hints and descriptions of possible pitfalls in internationalizing
a program.
Beside the known methods we will see descriptions of newly implemented
or newly invented functionalities. This includes a short tutorial
on how to use GNU gettext and a presentation of the latest changes
in the ISO C standard.
