Пример применения библиотеки gettext в программах на перле с использованием модуля Locale::TextDomain

Структура каталогов:

• example — скрипты.
• locale — скомпилированные mo-файлы переводов.
  • de — немецкие
  • ru — русские
    • LC_MESSAGES — сами mo-файлы.
  • ЯЗ — для языка с кодом ЯЗ
• po — исходные po-файлы переводов и Makefile.
