Ah. I wasn't aware of that. I thought Citrus was also FreeBSD-oriented.

The milestone references the citrus project because it is the only thing 
I know on the FreeBSD camp that intends to make a full BSD replacement 
for gettext.

Maybe for charsets and such, but is there really a non-GPL gettext 
implementation in FreeBSD? I don't think so.

I'm not worried about locale (dates, strings), but translation of output 
language.

Note that I don't know much about all this language stuff. I've used 
gettext a bit, but that's all.

If you have better ideas, please tell me. :)
