+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> retrieves a
+ message catalog entry for the current journal entry. This will
+ look up an entry in the message catalog by using the
+ <literal>MESSAGE_ID=</literal> field of the current journal entry.
+ Before returning the entry all journal field names in the catalog
+ entry text enclosed in "@" will be replaced by the respective
+ field values of the current entry. If a field name referenced in
+ the message catalog entry does not exist, in the current journal
+ entry, the "@" will be removed, but the field name otherwise left
+ untouched.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
+ works similar to <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> but
+ the entry is looked up by the specified message ID (no open
+ journal context is necessary for this), and no field substitution
+ is performed.</para>
+
+ <para>For more information about the journal message catalog
+ please refer to the <ulink
+ url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog">Journal
+ Message Catalogs</ulink> documentation page.</para>

+ <function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
+ return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. If no
+ matching message catalog entry is found, -ENOENT is
+ returned.</para>
+
+ <para>On successful return, <parameter>ret</parameter> points to a
+ new string, which must be freed with
