2014-07-27implement gettext message translation functionsRich Felker-0/+11
this commit replaces the stub implementations with working message translation functions. translation units are factored so as to prevent pulling in the legacy, non-library-safe functions which use a global textdomain in modern code which is using the versions with an explicit domain argument. bind_textdomain_codeset is also placed in its own file since it should not be needed by most programs. this implementation is still missing some features: the LANGUAGE environment variable (for multiple fallback languages) is not honored, and non-default plural-form rules are not supported. these issues will be addressed in a later commit. one notable difference from the GNU implementation is that there is no default path for loading translation files. in principle one could be added, but since the documented correct usage is to call the bindtextdomain function, a default path is probably unnecessary.
