We have about 18 hours before release of 2.1.3.

In fact they are from libc.mo (e.g. in /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ on my system). So now I am a bit confused. Obviously it cannot be the fault of the freeciv french translators anymore (sorry :)), is it perhaps that I don't have utf8 french localization installed on my system? Or perhaps freeciv is not correctly initializing nls to return translated text from libc as utf8? I will investigate this problem some more (though I have no experience at all in properly building nls-enabled applications); hopefully someone will speak up about the trivially obvious solution. ;) _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
