GNU gettext support for Shell scripts

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

The just-released GNU gettext 0.13 has improved support for Shell programs:

  * xgettext now also supports shell scripts. It recognizes invocations of
    the programs 'gettext', 'ngettext', the functions 'eval_gettext',
    'eval_ngettext', as well as the deprecated GNU bash builtin syntax $"...".
    New function library:
      gettext.sh - shell functions for internationalized shell scripts.
    New program:
      envsubst - substitutes environment variables in shell format strings.

  * An example demonstrating the use of GNU gettext with a shell script is
    shipped and installed at $prefix/share/doc/gettext/examples/hello-sh.

Enjoy!
