\subsection{Access to message catalogs}
\subsection{Access to message catalogs \label{locale-gettext}}
The locale module exposes the C library's gettext interface on systems
that provide this interface. It consists of the functions
\function{gettext}, \function{dgettext}, \function{dcgettext},
\function{textdomain}, and \function{bindtextdomain}. These are
similar to the same functions in the \module{gettext} module, but use
\function{gettext()}, \function{dgettext()}, \function{dcgettext()},
\function{textdomain()}, and \function{bindtextdomain()}. These are
similar to the same functions in the \refmodule{gettext} module, but use
the C library's binary format for message catalogs, and the C
library's search algorithms for locating message catalogs.
Python applications should normally find no need to invoke these
functions, and should use \module{gettext} instead. A known exception
to this rule are applications that link use additional C libraries
which internally invoke \function{gettext} or \function{dgettext}. For
these applications, it may be necessary to bind the text domain, so
that the libraries can properly locate their message catalogs.
