Thanks.
The code fragment that causes this is:
my $locale = Wx::Locale->new($lang);
unless ( $locale->IsLoaded($id) ) {
$locale->AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix( Padre::Util::sharedir('locale') );
my $file = Padre::Util::sharefile( 'locale', $id ) . '.mo';
$locale->AddCatalog($id) if -f $file;
}
Where $lang is the Wx Language ID value.
Reading through the doco, the API will:
"Add a catalog for use with the current locale: it is searched for in
standard places (current directory first, then the system one), but you
may also prepend additional directories to the search path with
AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix()."
Which given that the language files won't be in the standard places,
wxWidgets throws the warning.
So what we need to do is set the CatalogLookupPathPrefix before setting
the language.
However it seems that Wx::Locale->new() requires one parameter.
I'm not sure if this is correct, but it does seem to address the matter
of the warning:
my $locale = Wx::Locale->new(undef);
$locale->AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix( Padre::Util::sharedir('locale') );
my $file = Padre::Util::sharefile( 'locale', $id ) . '.mo';
$locale->AddCatalog($id) if -f $file;
By creating new with a 'null' I can create the locale object, and then
set the Path and then the language file if it exists.
Is this correct?

It's returning what it should based on further experimenting.
Thanks,
