doc: explain how to compile with language support

Browse Source 
Now that the setup in configure.ac have been cleaned, moved the original
documentation from the 'INSTALL-WMAKER' file into the dedicated doc
'README.i18n' and updated it.

The information is completely removed from 'INSTALL-WMAKER' with an
invitation to see the new i18n doc in order to keep that file relatively
small and to avoid duplicating information, which is always harder to
maintain.

LOCALES/INTERNATIONALIZATION
============================
Window Maker has national language support. To enable national language
support, you must compile Window Maker with some additional parameters.
0 - You must have the GNU gettext package installed. It can be
obtained at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gettext-nnn.tar.gz
Steps 1 to 3 can be skipped if you use the Install script.
1 - You have to select the languages you want to support. Set the
LINGUAS to the list of locales you want. English is always
supported. Example:
setenv LINGUAS "pt ja de"
in csh
or
export LINGUAS;LINGUAS="pt ja de"
in sh
The list of supported locales can be found in po/README.
English is the default language.
Read po/README if you wish to translate and maintain locale files
for other languages.
2 - Additionally, if your language uses multi-byte characters, such
as Japanese or Korean, you must set the MultiByteText option to YES
in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL
3 - Configure, build and install Window Maker normally.
Window Maker has national language support. The procedure to enable national
language support is described in the dedicated README.i18n file.
4 - To select a particular locale at run-time you must set the LANG
environment variable to the locale you want. For example, if you want to set

@chapter Enabling Languages support
@sc{Window Maker} has the possibility to be translated in many languages, but by default none of
them will be installed, and the support for translation will not be compiled.
To enable the translation capabilities, you have to specify which language(s) you want to be
installed: this is done with the variable @env{LINGUAS} when running the @command{configure} script.
This variable should contain the space-separated list of languages you want to install.
You could for instance enable both French (@code{fr}) and Dutch (@code{nl}) with this:
@example
./configure LINGUAS="fr nl"
@end example
You can of course add any other option that you want to the @command{configure} command.
From the moment you specify the variable, the @command{configure} script will check that you have
the appropriate dependencies for this (basically the @code{gettext} function and the @code{libintl}
library); when you run @command{make} to compile the project, it will also compile the translation
(@code{mo} files) for the language(s) you asked (if available, of course), and during
@command{make install} it will install them in the usual directory.
@c --------------------------------------------------------------------- LINGUAS at system level ---
@section Setting @env{LINGUAS} at system level
As the variable @env{LINGUAS} is quite standard, you also have the possibility to set its value in
the @file{config.site} file for @sc{Autoconf}.
This file can be placed in one of these paths:
@itemize @bullet
@item @file{@emph{<prefix>}/share/config.site}
@item @file{@emph{<prefix>}/etc/config.site}
@end itemize
This way, the same language list will be used for all the programs that use @sc{Autoconf} that you
would compile.
Please note that if you also specify a value on the command line, it will have precedence over the
value in that file.
