2.2 Magic for End Users
=======================

We consider here those packages using GNU `gettext' internally, and for
which the installers did not disable translation at _configure_ time.
Then, users only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the
appropriate `LL_CC' combination prior to using the programs in the
package.  *Note Matrix::.  For example, let's presume a German site.
At the shell prompt, users merely have to execute `setenv LANG de_DE'
(in `csh') or `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh').  They could even do
this from their `.login' or `.profile' file.
