It provides a gtk.glade.bindtextdomain() call that will set up the translation domain with the C gettext library, and make sure it uses UTF-8 so that it can be used with libglade.
Last time I checked the faq said something strange about not using
gettext, using intl, then using again gettext :-? So I took an
example from the pygtk directory and started hacking it until I
managed to get it working with python's gettext module. The example
is attached.
Well, the only trick is getting internationalization to work in Python2.1 or earlier if you need to translate strings in libglade, because libglade is run in C, and Python2.1 and earlier's gettext module is pure python. This doesn't work well with C extensions. I'd guess GNOME stock buttons and the like would have the same problems.
Python 2.2 also has a python-only gettext module. In Python 2.3, there will be some extra functions in the locale module for using the C level gettext library.
Can somebody check if this is ok? I see that the FAQ has been
updated, but looks like it focuses on the C part of gettext, and
this smaller example might be easier to understand for newbies. Feel
free to put it in the faq or some cvs directory.
What version of Python are you using? 2.2's gettext has changed this to be correct again (AFAIK, from what Martin wrote me and James).
