In my very humble opinion since I'm not a C++ programmer, just a C one, I
really don't think it's a good way to do it. In fact we all know that
htdig needs great improvements in the internalization layer, but for me
this should be done with a special class (I suppose it's the correct term)
and with one instance of this particular class for each country (maybe we
can fill each with text configuration files at runtime ala locale) and
which shouldn't have to be modified after being created. What I
mean is adding more and more configuration fields like plural_suffix to
the main configuration file should be avoided in favor of a correct
use of the locale specified in the configuration file.
of course I'm not able to code this so...
bye,
Jerome
