Well, as I said, in this case: gtk_label_new(_(some_string)); The output of gettext can (and often will) be UTF-8, so gtk_label_new is going to receive UTF-8 whether some_string is ASCII or not. If it's not UTF-8-safe, we're pretty much screwed already. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
