I am maintaining a program that features a minimalistic GnuPG GUI as an accessory. (http://www.fh-wedel.de/~an/crypto/Academic_signature_eng.html) Now I encountered a problem with other than english versions of GnuPG: a) The verification of a signature (--verify) always returns false, regardless of the result of the verification.(May be someone can give me a rationale for this behavior.) b) as a workaround I have my interface analyze the comments gnupg returns. It so happens that the comments on --verify are returned in the error channel. So I checked for the keyword "good signature" in the error channel to use it as a flag that verfication succeeded. That works nicely. When I install my software on a german language ubuntu, however, the response is given in german language and is not "good signature" but a german tranlation. The GUI obviously fails to recognize the success of the verification then. I presume you can see it would be awkward to check for "good signature" in all languages from afrikaans to zulu. A GnuPG option to force the response to be in english would solve the problem elegantly. Can anyone give me a hint on how to do that?
I wish you all had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year, Michael Anders _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
