### (1)

In this manual, all mentions of Emacs refers to either GNU Emacs or to XEmacs, which people sometimes call FSF Emacs and Lucid Emacs, respectively.

### (2)

This limitation is not imposed by GNU `gettext`, but is for compatibility with the `msgfmt` implementation on Solaris.

### (3)

Some system, e.g. mingw, don't have `LC_MESSAGES`. Here we use a more or less arbitrary value for it, namely 1729, the smallest positive integer which can be represented in two different ways as the sum of two cubes.

### (4)

When the system does not support `setlocale` its behavior in setting the locale values is simulated by looking at the environment variables.

### (5)

Additions are welcome. Send appropriate information to bug-gnu-gettext@gnu.org and bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org.

### (6)

you can also use it through the `‘MSGMERGE_OPTIONS’` option from `‘Makevars’`
