gettext Translates a natural language message into the user's language by looking up the translation in a message catalog
gettext.sh Primarily serves as a shell function library for gettext
gettextize Copies all standard Gettext files into the given top-level directory of a package to begin internationalizing it
msgattrib Filters the messages of a translation catalog according to their attributes and manipulates the attributes
msgcat Concatenates and merges the given .po files
msgcmp Compares two .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings
msgcomm Finds the messages that are common to the given .po files
msgconv Converts a translation catalog to a different character encoding
msgen Creates an English translation catalog
msgexec Applies a command to all translations of a translation catalog
msgfilter Applies a filter to all translations of a translation catalog
msgfmt Generates a binary message catalog from a translation catalog
msggrep Extracts all messages of a translation catalog that match a given pattern or belong to some given source files
msginit Creates a new .po file, initializing the meta information with values from the user's environment

libgettextlib a private library containing common routines used by the various Gettext programs; these are not intended for general use
libgettextpo Used to write specialized programs that process .po files; this library is used when the standard applications shipped with Gettext (such as msgcomm, msgcmp, msgattrib, and msgen) will not suffice
libgettextsrc A private library containing common routines used by the various Gettext programs; these are not intended for general use
preloadable_libintl A library, intended to be used by LD_PRELOAD that assists libintl in logging untranslated messages
