  12 ** Internationalization
  13 Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the
  14 maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers
  15 (i.e., for the user-side parser execution).  The requirements between
  16 both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not.  To
  17 simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not
  18 supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized.  See
  19 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for
  20 more details.

  24 frequently asked questions.  The documentation is also available in
  25 PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
  26 run "make pdf" or "make html".
