If AM_GNU_GETTEXT is seen in configure.in, then Automake
turns on support for GNU gettext, a message catalog system for
internationalization
(see GNU Gettext in GNU gettext utilities).
The gettext support in Automake requires the addition of two
subdirectories to the package, intl and po. Automake
ensure that these directories exist and are mentioned in SUBDIRS.
Furthermore, Automake checks that the definition of ‘ALL_LINGUAS’ in configure.in corresponds to all the valid ‘.po’ files, and nothing more.
