Yes, this article is a good tutorial. It is also installed as part
of the GNU gettext package.

Please consider these 3 questions from the gettext FAQ
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html>:

- My program compiles and links fine, but doesn't output translated strings.
- How do I compile, link and run a program that uses the gettext() function?
- Setting the LANG environment variable doesn't have any effect
