Yup, still doesn't seem to work. Assuming this is what you wanted me to test ;-) Test program attached, results below. It returns NULL for whatever I try with LC_MESSAGES. And yes, Windows has weird names for locales :-) See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/h tml/_crt_language_strings.asp. Or do I need to add some kind of initialization of the gettext library? //Magnus $ ./localetest.exe LC_CTYPE -> NULL: C LC_CTYPE -> C: C LC_CTYPE -> en_US: (null) LC_CTYPE -> english-us: English_United States.1252 LC_MESSAGES -> NULL: (null) LC_MESSAGES -> C: (null) LC_MESSAGES -> en_US: (null) LC_MESSAGES -> english-us: (null)
