\membersection{::wxGetTranslation}\label{wxgettranslation}
This function returns the translation of string {\it str} in the current
\helpref{locale}{wxlocale}. If the string is not found in any of the loaded
-message catalogs (see \helpref{i18n overview}{internationalization}), the
+message catalogs (see \helpref{internationalization overview}{internationalization}), the
original string is returned. In debug build, an error message is logged - this
should help to find the strings which were not yet translated. As this function
is used very often, an alternative syntax is provided: the \_() macro is
wxYES\_NO or wxOK.}

+\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{command}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{output}}
+
Executes another program in Unix or Windows.
The first form takes a command string, such as {\tt "emacs file.txt"}.
The second form takes an array of values: a command, any number of
arguments, terminated by NULL.
+The semantics of the third version is different from the first two and is
+described in more details below.
+
If {\it sync} is FALSE (the default), flow of control immediately returns.
If TRUE, the current application waits until the other program has terminated.
\helpref{wxProcess::OnTerminate}{wxprocessonterminate} will be called when
the process finishes.
+Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
+a process (always synchronously) and capture its output in the array
+{\it output}.

+\func{bool}{wxHandleFatalExceptions}{\param{bool}{ doIt = TRUE}}
+
+If {\it doIt} is TRUE, the fatal exceptions (also known as general protection
+faults under Windows or segmentation violations in the Unix world) will be
+caught and passed to \helpref{wxApp::OnFatalException}{wxapponfatalexception}.
+By default, i.e. before this function is called, they will be handled in the
+normal way which usually just means that the application will be terminated.
+Calling wxHandleFatalExceptions() with {\it doIt} equal to FALSE will restore
+this default behaviour.

\membersection{::wxKill}\label{wxkill}
\func{int}{wxKill}{\param{long}{ pid}, \param{int}{ sig}}
Yields control to pending messages in the windowing system. This can be useful, for example, when a
time-consuming process writes to a text window. Without an occasional
-yield, the text window will not be updated properly, and (since Windows
-multitasking is cooperative) other processes will not respond.
+yield, the text window will not be updated properly, and on systems with
+cooperative multitasking, such as Windows 3.1 other processes will not respond.
Caution should be exercised, however, since yielding may allow the
user to perform actions which are not compatible with the current task.
reentrance of code: see \helpref{::wxSafeYield}{wxsafeyield} for a better
function.
+Note that wxYield will not flush the message logs. This is intentional as
+calling wxYield is usually done to quickly update the screen and popping up a
+message box dialog may be undesirable. If you do with to flush the log
+messages immediately (otherwise it will be done during the next idle loop
+iteration), call \helpref{wxLog::FlushActive}{wxlogflushactive}.
