Message Tools for NetWare® is a set of DOS command-line and GUI utilities designed to help you internationalize your software for translation into other languages.
Internationalization is the process of preparing programs for use in more than one language. The core feature of internationalized programs is the separation of message files from the rest of the code. If designed properly, internationalized programs can be ported easily from one language and locale to another.
