 \section{\class{wxLocale}}\label{wxlocale}
 
-wxLocale class encapsulates all language dependent settings and is a
-generalization of the C locale concept (see also setlocale(3)).
+wxLocale class encapsulates all language-dependent settings and is a
+generalization of the C locale concept.
 
 In wxWindows this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
 of the strings used to the current language.
 
+\perlnote{In wxPerl you can't use the '\_' function name, so
+the {\tt Wx::Locale} module can export the {\tt gettext} and 
+{\tt gettext\_noop} under any given name. 
+\begin{verbatim}
+  # this imports gettext ( equivalent to Wx::GetTranslation
+  # and gettext_noop ( a noop )
+  # into your module
+  use Wx::Locale qw(:default);
+
+  # ....
+
+  # use the functions
+  print gettext( ``Panic!'' ); 
+
+  button = Wx::Button->new( window, -1, gettext( ``Label'' ) );
+\end{verbatim}
+If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
+each one is a long task ( that is why \_( ) was introduced ), so just choose
+a shorter name for gettext:
+\begin{verbatim}
+  #
+  use Wx::Locale 'gettext' => 't',
+                 'gettext_noop' => 'gettext_noop';
+
+  # ...
+
+  # use the functions
