You can provide different messages in different languages through the use of message catalogs. You can build them using the "gencat" command, and you can then access them using the catopen() and catgets() functions. For example, create a message catalog, hello.msg:

set 1
1 Hola, mundo!

Then you would compile this into a .cat file, by running the command:

# gencat hello.cat hello.msg

Next, you would copy the hello.cat file into the appropriate directory (for example, /usr/lib/nls/es_ES.iso88591). Now here is your application:

#include
#include

int main() {
nl_catd catid;
char *msg;
catid = catopen( "hello.cat", 0 );
if ( catid < 0 ) {
perror( "Unable to open message catalog" );
}

printf( "%s\n", catgets( catid, 1, 1, "Hello, world!" );
}

Now all you need to do is compile that hello.c file (using your choice of C compiler). If you set LANG=C, then you should get "Hello, world!" as output. However, if you set LANG=es_ES.iso88591, you should get "Hola, mundo!" as output.

Share and enjoy.
