gettext in windows

[StasZ]

Hello,

I have some programs which are developed on Linux and uses gettext for
the language support.
While they run without problem on a win32 platform i haven't a clue how
to get the gettext stuff working.
Also locale settings are different.

Can somebody give me some pointers on how this sort of thing is
implemented in windows?
I must also confess that i have problems installing GNU/gettext on windows
I'm quite clueless on windows :-) 

Thanks,

Stas
