gettext Installation
Once you have received, unpacked, configured and compiled the GNU
gettext distribution, the `make install' command puts in
place the programs xgettext, msgfmt, gettext, and
tupdate, as well as their available message catalogs. For
completing a comfortable installation, you might also want to make the
PO mode available to your GNU Emacs users.
To finish the installation of the PO mode, you might want modify your file `.emacs', once and for all, so it contains a few lines looking like:
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.pox?\\'" . po-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(autoload 'po-mode "po-mode")
Later, whenever you edit some `.po' or `.pox' file, Emacs loads `po-mode.elc' (or `po-mode.el') as needed, and automatically activate PO mode commands for the associated buffer. The string PO appears in the mode line for any buffer for which PO mode is active. Many PO files may be active at once in a single Emacs session.
