I want to verify my understanding of Native Language Support.

If I build a package and use either --disable-nls or --without-nls,
whichever is appropriate, in the configure phase, then the package installs
in the language corresponding to my locale and there is no capability for
someone who speaks, for example, Spanish to change the locale and see
everything in Spanish.  Is this correct?

Thanks,

  I'm fairly sure packages built with this option will normally
install messages in English, irrespective of which locale you are in
when you build it.

Thanks, Ken. I was reading about nls in gcc and suddenly I realized that I was confused and wanted to "hone" my understanding. :)

Actually, my goal is to build packages without having to scroll through blocks of non-English messages to get to the English portion--consolekit for one.
