<div>To keep packages small, languages files (LC_MESSAGES) are places in a seperate -lang subpackages.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
...<br />
subpackages="$pkgname-lang"<br />
...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
[[abuild]] is throwing a warning if it detects translation.<br />
<pre><br />
>>> WARNING: package*: Found /usr/share/locale. Maybe add $pkgname-lang to subpackages?<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Please note that some packages will automatically detect NLS if gettext-dev is installed at build time. If gettext-dev is not a direct or indirect dependency then should most likely no -lang be needed.<br />
