Hi all,
I am trying to make OutKafe gettext translateable, using whatever code
I can find for samples this is what my code now looks like:
-------
uses
Classes, SysUtils, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs,
ExtCtrls,Util,
StdCtrls, Buttons , gtkproc, TrayIcon, popupnotifier,
Menus,liboutkafe,popupunit,
fileUtil,baseunix,unix, IpHtml, Ipfilebroker,gettext;
resourcestring
rsLoginDetails = 'Enter your login details to continue';
rsLoginName = 'Login Name';
rsPassword = 'Password';
rsLogin = 'Login';
<snip>
procedure OklinMainForm.Create;
<snip>
//LangPath is a const, it is set to /usr/share/outkafe/lang
TranslateUnitResourceStrings('oklinmainunit',
LANGPATH+PathDelim+'oklin.%s.po');
Label1.Caption := Utf8ToAnsi(rsLoginDetails);
Label2.Caption := Utf8ToAnsi(rsLoginName);
Label3.Caption := Utf8ToAnsi(rsPassword);
LoginBtn.Caption := Utf8ToAnsi(rsLogin)
-------
So I compile it, which generates an oklinmainunit.rst file, I run
rstconv -i oklinmainunit.rst -o oklin.po
cp oklin.po oklin.af.po
I edit oklin.af.po and copy it to /usr/share/outkafe/lang
I ALSO run msgfmt oklin.af.po -o oklin.af.mo
And put that in there as WELL,
Then I run:
LANG="af" ./oklin
But the program remains obstinately in English (no output in the
console gives me any
indication of why).
Can anybody give me an idea what I am doing wrong ?
Why does the TranslateUnitResourceStrings function appear to have FOUR
parameters in some calls (but not in the gettext unit) - is that
alternative a better choice ? Where do I get it?
TIA
A.J.
