I downloaded gettext 0.19.1 and libiconv 1.14 source tar balls, and
compile/install them on AIX 5.3, and did a test using zh_CN.utf8 locale by a
very simple C program, but found it not working (I did a test on AIX 7.1 using
the gettext command before and that one failed, so that's why I tried to build
from latest source codes, but found it still not working).
After adding a number of fprintf in the codes, what I found is the issue is in
this part:
in gettext-runtime/dcigettext.c
It's the following block caused the AIX gettext not working:
------------------------------------------------------------
# ifndef IN_LIBGLOCALE
const char *encoding = get_output_charset (domainbinding);
# endif
------------------------------------------------------------
the encoding got is ISO-8859-1, should be UTF-8

The test C program is this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main(int ac, char *av[])
{
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
textdomain("wzisintl");
printf("%s\n", gettext("Try this"));
}
Thanks and Best Regards
