I don't know how to handle this language problem. At first I used setlocale (LC_ALL, NULL); to get the current locale for help. This worked well on my and most other systems. But then someone reported me a problem that on his system this doesn't work. I expect a return of one locale like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". But this person get this result: LC_CTYPE=en_US;LC_NUMERIC=en_US;LC_TIME=en_US;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY= en_US;LC_MESSAGES=en_US;LC_PAPER=en_US;LC_NAME=en_US;LC_ADDRESS=en_US;L C_TELEPHONE=en_US;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US;LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US After some time I found the reason: setlocale (LC_ALL, NULL); seems to return all values If not all locales have the same value. (see: LC_COLLATE=C, others=en_US). So I used only LC_MESSAGES to get the locale and avoid this problems. Do you think I should return to LC_MESSAGES and use LANG as fallback if LC_MESSAGES is empty? regards Andreas ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
