There's a dilemma with the i18n thing. On other platforms (especially of

A couple of years ago there was but one choice for a charset in the Atari
sector, the charset of the Atari's built-in system font. Now more and
more Atari users have switched to the universally used ISO-Latin 1 charset
also known as i-8859-1, especially when using a command line interpreter.

If you use already internationalized GNU packages you will come across
this charset, too. (Note that both ISO-Latin 1 and the Atari charset are
this charset, too. (Note that both ISO Latin1 and the Atari charset are
intended for use with western european languages, the Atari's charset
to a certain extent also for Hebrew and Greek. Hence the following refers
only to those languages).
I have chosen the following way: As it is very unlikely that you use an
ISO-Latin 1 charset with GEM, the files containing the messages for the
ISO Latin1 charset with GEM, the files containing the messages for the
example program - which has a GUI - have to be read with the Atari
charset. But these files shouldn't go into your locale directory. The
whole thing is provided as an example and should stay where it is (i. e.
it isn't installed).
For xgemtext you have the choice. If you use an ISO-Latin-1 font (as you
