To self-answer my question: msgcat is pretty unflexible and needs to be told explicitely where to find his .msg files. Moreover, .msg must be named <language_code>.msg, such as fr.msg (not <project>.msg as with .po files). Hence, they don't fit in the FHS, and we've put those files under /usr/share/<project>/. -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
