When using UTF-8 as the C source encoding, I have no problems with
using gettext (after teaching xgettext to read the UTF-8 source).
However, the C and POSIX locales can't display the printed strings
properly.

I created a C.po file, and this installed as schroot.mo under
/usr/share/locale.  This po file simply converts the UTF-8 chars to
the nearest ASCII equivalent e.g. © -> (C).  However, when running
under the C or POSIX locales, bindtextdomain() never even checks for
the existence of a message catalogue (checked with strace).

Is this correct?  If so, is this a gettext or libc bug?


Thanks,
Roger
