Hi, I am thinking of using GNU gettext together with LuaTeX. Two questions:
1) (off topic) which environment variable should I check for the current language? LANG? Or is this a "it depends" answer? 2) can I safely assume that this variable from question 1 is not cleared by LuaTeX? The following section in the LuaTeX documentation makes me a bit nervous: "In stock Lua, many things depend on the current locale. In LuaTEX, we can't do that, because it makes documents unportable. While LuaTEX is running if forces the following locale settings: LC_CTYPE=C LC_COLLATE=C LC_NUMERIC=C " If I'd check LANG, can I be sure that texlua (!) does not clear it in some future version?
