Well, in the PostgreSQL itself we use the gettext tools, and the one to merge in the messages called, msgmerge (the other one is to check/format/etc is msgfmt). Thanks to Peter E. Postgres has this built into makefiles, so when you do 'make update-po', it does call msgmerge and updates the .po files required. Checkout the nls-global.mk file in Postres's src. So, I guess Peter runs a daily CVS checkout and builds those .po files, and parses the output of the script and transforms it into the table. I think it is automation of these steps (not all, some of them): http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/nlsinfo/ Maybe Peter (Cc'd) can donate that script to pgAdmin? > Regards, Dave. -s ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
