Wouldn't the most clean approach be to configure the package with
'--disable-nls' and be done with it?

Hi Fabian,
it might work, but it would means then loosed the translations.
There is currently a german translation included in the sources.

Since I wrote this earlier email today, a friend of mine, who is
programmer, undertook to write a proper patch for blop. We'll add it
to this report when done.

So, after he looked deeply on the code, he told me that the code wasn't looking that good and would need a big review for that to works fine. So, because last upstream hasn't released a new version since 2004, and because the LV2 version of it sounds to be more active ( http://drobilla.net/software/blop-lv2 ), it doesn't seem to worth to spend time on fixing i18n on the LADSPA version, specifically because there is only one half translation in german.

Then, we finally agreed that what Fabian suggested sounds to be the more reasonable solution: "configure the package with '--disable-nls' and be done with it".

I've been testing a package rebuild with this option in d/rules on a debian stretch, and it's working for the purpose of using cinelerra and mhwavedit. All good this way then.

Hope that helps,
Olivier
