Do I need to modify the .emacs file ? '.pl' files are perl files. You don't localize emacs from emacs lisp, because a lot of strings are used and referenced from C code. You have to do it from the source distribution of emacs, apparently, by putting this french-utf8.pl file in some specific place in the sources directory, and then compiling emacs will run this script and add the French strings. I don't know the details, but do read the comment in french-utf8.pl and perhaps some further documentation in the place where you found it. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ “The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog.
