I'm using a programm under XFree86 that supports internationalized menus. Therefore I need gettext, but with the actual version 0.12.5-1 the XWindows-menus aren't displayed correct. I reported this problem to the gnu mailinglist and they answerd me the following:
--- original message --- > I just updated libintl2 to 0.12.1-3 and now german umlauts in the menus > and windows are no longer displayed correct. For example "ge�ndert" it is > displayed "ge"andert". > I'm using libintl2 under the latest cygwin and the latest gettext. This symptom occurs when the LC_CTYPE facet of the locale is not set. If your program does only setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, ""); then it's time to add a call setlocale (LC_CTYPE, ""); or do both of these in a single call: setlocale (LC_ALL, ""); --- end of message --- I asked the developers of my program (LyX) but they set LC_CTYPE correct. So could this be a problem of cygwin/XFree86? thanks Uwe
