Yea, although my opinion on when it should appear differs :)
But seriously, I think the intl subdir should ultimately move out of
gcc into the main dir and include all the stuff that's 'genericly'
ours, i.e. all compilers and libs.

I'd be quite willing to try my luck on that job as it wouldn't require
to first get a grasp on gcc's internals.

But a first start should be to set up things with the translation
robot for GNU projects to get the handling of translations (and of
cause the translations themselves :) started. If it's ok with you I'll
get things rolling. The only question remaining is who would/should be

responsible for maintaining the translations ?

I ask because the normal process is that the maintainer sends new
message catalogs to the translation robot, which in turn notifies the
translation teams. The finished translations are then sent to the
translation robot and from there to the maintainer for integration.

I have some more question on the i18n stuff, but will send them in a
separate mail.

Yes.  That is part of the plan.

Right now, nobody is responsible -- the intl code is *very* new to gcc.  We
don't have any policies/procedures in place to handle this kind of stuff yet.

That's one of the other big issues -- as is making the various front-ends
and the back ends i18n aware.
