* Message catalogs aid internationalization of applications by allowing
31
* messages to be retrieved from locale-specific files instead of
32
* hardwiring them into the application. This allows translations of
33
* messages appropriate to the locale to be supplied without recompiling
37
* It's very important that message catalogs work, even if only the
38
* default_text can be used.
41
* The caller must ensure appropriate synchronization of
42
* isc_msgcat_open() and isc_msgcat_close(). isc_msgcat_get()
43
