What is GNU gettext?

GNU gettext is an internationalization and localization framework maintained by the Free Software Foundation that provides tools and runtime libraries for making software messages translatable. Developers extract marked strings into PO template files, translators produce language-specific PO files, and these are compiled into binary MO files loaded at runtime.
