You should give the standard C version of gettext a try. Beginning
with version 1.12 GNU gettext supports Perl, and it recognizes almost
all string types that Perl knows, for example:
print _<<EOF; If you ... A message ... If you ... EOF
Just try "xgettext yourscript.pl YourModule.pm ..."
Thanks, GNU xgettext did the job! It even warned me about invalid variable
interpolations in gettext() calls.
Still BTW, it is generally a bad idea to use a single underscore as
an alias for gettext(). That function is automatically global.
I don't understand neither why a name of underscore makes a function
automatically global nor why is it a bad idea gettext() to be global. Could you
please explain?
all the best,
