<title>Introduction to <application>intltool</application></title>

<para>The <application>intltool</application> package contains an 
internationalization tool. This is useful for extracting translatable strings 
from source files, collecting the extracted strings with messages from 
traditional source files (<filename class="directory">&lt;source 
directory&gt;/&lt;package&gt;/po</filename>) and merging the translations into 
<filename>.xml</filename>, <filename>.desktop</filename> and 
<filename>.oaf</filename> files.</para>
