Elements of a Locale-Specific Catalog
The locale-specific catalogs are subsets of top-level catalogs. They are maintained in
subdirectories named for the locales they represent. The elements and attributes
described in the following sections are valid for locale-specific catalogs.

locale_message_catalog

The following table describes the attributes that you can define for the
locale_message_catalog element.

log_message

The locale-specific catalog uses the attributes defined for the log_message element in
the log message catalog so this element does not need to be defined.

Other locale_message_catalog Elements

The locale-specific catalog uses the messagebody, messagedetail, cause, and
action catalog elements defined for the log message catalog so these elements do not
need to be defined.
