internationalization: I can't get it to work

[Raphael Finkel]

I must be doing something wrong; I can't see my internationalization of menus.

This is what I have done.

1.  I built built parts of a Yiddish yi-YI.po file in abi/po.
2.  I ran ui-backport.pl yi-YI.
3.  In the installed directory (/usr/local/share/AbiSuite/AbiWord/), I
        built a system profile for Yiddish, with contents:

                <SystemDefaults
                    DocumentLocale="yi-YI"
                        RulerUnits="inch"
                        DefaultPageSize="Letter"
                />

        This file is in each of the following three files: system.profile-yi,
        system.profile-yi-YI, system.profile-yi-YI.utf-8.  I got debugging-output
        errors from AbiWord unless I had all of them.
3.  In my startup script, I call AbiWord having first set environment variables
        LANG=yi_YI.utf-8, LOCALE=yi_YI
4.  The debugging AbiWord tells me some good news and some bad news:

        DEBUG: EncodingManager reports the following:
                NativeEncodingName is utf-8, LanguageISOName is yi,
                        Native8BitEncodingName is utf-8,
                        LanguageISOTerritory is YI,  fallbackchar is '?'
        DEBUG: Prefs: Using LOCALE info from environment [en-US]
        DEBUG: CreateMenuLabelSet: szLanguage_ en-US, szLanguage en-US
5.      I see no Yiddish in any menu.

What is missing?
