http://linuxfestnw.org for more information. It is in Bellingham, Washington, 100 miles north of Seattle, near the Canadian border. Several discussion meetings are held each day, and there are exhibits as well. Last year, a lot of the focus was on server side developments, which from what I witnessed, aggravated a lot of attendees that were curious about Linux at home. The only real home usage activities were the Portland Linux Users Group burning Ubuntu cd's like mad men (I think they gave out 700 cds), and a presentation from the local High School on video game design with Blender and SDL (presented by my 15 year old son, actually). -- Tobin Davis Feel disillusioned?

This is what is usually recommended for libraries, but it should work in all cases. NB: instead of libgnome's, I'd recommend you to use GLib's gettext macros, either glib/gi18n.h or glib/gi18n-lib.h; libgnome is deprecated upstream (and nowadays libgnome's i18n includes libbonobo's which includes glib's anyway ;-). You can gdb break on the bindtextdomain() calls in your code pathes and/or textdomain() calls; check that your LOCALEDIR (or whatever name) is properly set at build/installation time (you need to make install for localedir to be found, it wont work from a checkout); you can "strace -f -e trace=file" to check which .mos are looked for. > [Desktop config files] > > * The .desktop files which are pulled in by mobile-basic-flash have a > field called "Name".

GLib should provide services to do this; instead of calling g_key_file_get_string() try calling g_key_file_get_locale_string(); using LANG might not be the good choice BTW. > 2) Need to fix or at least find the proper way to verify that the > glade based translations are working Dunno about this one. > 3) Need to fill in all the blanks wrt all the translatable > strings.

Theoritically, this should all happen magically when we have langpacks; however I'm sure that gives you a feeling of the value of the GNOME translation infrastructure and teams. :) -- Loïc Minier -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
CeBIT Ultra mobile meeting.
Hi all. This is Steve 'Chippy' from UMPCPortal. Will Canonical be showing off UME at CeBIT? If so, i'd love to come and see the latest. I havent had a chance recently to install it on my Q1 U. Also, if anyone is interested, I have a few places left for the Ultra Mobile Social on Thursday 6th at 19:30 (til late) in Hannover. There will be a big range of devices (most ultra mobile devices should be available for hands-on) and Intel, Microsoft, ASUS, Gigbyte, a number of resellers and fan will be there too. Oh, and free beer sponsored by VIA Technologies. If you fancy coming along it would be great to see you. Please contact me through the portal if you wish to come. http://www.umpcportal.com/modules/contact Regards and all the best for the build-up to release.

Re: GNU gettext for hildon?
Appreciate the pointers here. I do now understand how domains are set generally in code and for specific gettext calls. I still have a general question for Hildon folks: The suggestion was made in a different thread that we use the provided English translations as a basis for further translation into different languages to overcome the issue of non-English strings in code. But, I am having trouble finding the complete set of English translations. Can someone on the Hildon list help me find them? (in whatever form they take, be it one or more template files, or one or more po files, or even, as a last resort, the referred to UI spec that, I gather, maps the code strings to meaningful descriptions.) Or, put more generally, can the Hildon list folks provide specific suggestions for accomplishing translation of Hildon in the near term?
