Hi. I'm running Debian Squezze on a small AMD Geode based embedded PC. I need to use the gettext library independend from the system wide language settings to toggle the language for strings only.
On my PC, the test runs within a chroot environment als expected. On the embedded PC, it doesn't switch the language with setlocale(). Please can some help me? Here's the code snippet I use. #define PACKAGE "sample2" #define _(String) gettext (String) int main() { printf("Current LOCALE: '%s'\n",setlocale(LC_ALL,0)); bindtextdomain(PACKAGE,"./locale"); textdomain(PACKAGE); printf("Switch to 'en'\n"); setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,"en_EN.UTF8"); printf("New LOCALE: '%s'\n",setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,0)); printf(_("Hello World\n")); printf("Switch to 'de'\n"); setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,"de_DE"); printf("New LOCALE: '%s'\n",setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,0)); printf(_("Hello World\n")); printf("Switch to 'de.utf8'\n"); setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,"de_DE.UTF8"); printf("New LOCALE: '%s'\n",setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,0)); printf(_("Hello World\n")); return 0; } The output in the chroot is: $ ./sample2 Current LOCALE: 'C' Switch to 'en' New LOCALE: 'C' Hello World Switch to 'de' New LOCALE: 'C' Hello World Switch to 'de.utf8' New LOCALE: 'de_DE.UTF8' Hallo Welt And on the embedded PC: # ./sample2 Current LOCALE: 'C' Switch to 'en' New LOCALE: 'C' Hello World Switch to 'de' New LOCALE: 'C' Hello World Switch to 'de.utf8' New LOCALE: 'C' Hello World -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
