Gettext .mo

The .mo (Machine Object) is a compiled Gettext PO file. In execution Gettext enabled programs retrieve translations from the .mo file. The file contains simply a hash lookup table of English→Translation.

Conformance

The toolkit can build .mo files from PO or XLIFF files. The ability to compile messages with plurals and msgctxt is only available in version 1.1 (as yet unreleased).
