LocalCaml is an Objective Caml library that facilitates software internationalisation by producing localised text from message catalogs.

Here are some key features of "LocalCaml":
Translations are written using CamlTemplate, a general-purpose templating language; they can therefore use conditional logic to adapt sentence structure and morphology to the parameters they are given.

Translators can write template macros to simplify the handling of grammatical agreement.

Since parameters passed to templates are named, the order of parameters in a translation can be different from the order used in the original text.

Since message text is stored in XML files instead of in source code, it can contain the full range of Unicode characters, rather than the subset allowed in OCaml source code (ISO-8859-1). It should also be easy to make catalog editing tools for translators.
