The code won't care; with few exceptions, the GRASS libraries and modules treat strings as sequences of bytes, not characters. However, if you want the script to work correctly with different locales, you'll need to explicitly convert to the locale's encoding, and handle the case where such conversions aren't possible (e.g. if the user's locale uses ASCII). > By the way, just to confirm this, it's not possible to sue *.po files to > translate messages and strings in grass.message and grass.fatal (Python > Scripts) right? g.message doesn't translate the message. This would be problematic for messages which aren't fixed (see my recent reply re: "g.manual expression missing"). In Python scripts, you can use _(...) (a function whose name is a single underscore), but there isn't a convenient solution for shell scripts. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
