Hi Alexandru,
thank you for the question.
On the practical side, msgcat maintains a dict.
You want an access function to the values and get the keys.
This is doable.
I personally only use Language Tags, e.g.
mc errFile $err
and
mcflset errFile "File error: %s"
So, this would not help you.
Take care,
Harald
