12** Internationalization
13Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the
14maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers
15(i.e., for the user-side parser execution).  The requirements between
16both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not.  To
17simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not
18supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized.  See
19http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for
20more details.
