GetText unit
Unit implementing resource string translation using gettext files.
The gettext unit can be used to hook into the resource string mechanism
of Free Pascal to provide translations of the resource strings, based on the
GNU gettext mechanism. The unit provides a class (TMOFile) to read
the .mo files with localizations for various languages. It
also provides a couple of calls to translate all resource strings in an
application based on the translations in a .mo file.
