Its a bit of a problem because it will clash with the translation catalog
installed by virt-manager. So the combo of
gettext.install(gettext_app, gettext_dir)
Along with the use of '_' will end up trying to pull translations from
virt-manager's catalog. What you need to do is not call gettext.intsall
or locale.setlocal at all - simple have the bindtextdomain call in the
__init__ file. Then you need to define a convenience wrapper using
dgettext
def _virtinst(msg):
return gettext.dgettext(getext_app, msg)
And finally, in each of the virtinst .py files I think you need:
from virtinst import _virtinst as _
Finally, the virt-install, and virt-clone commands also need to have the
locale.setlocale, and gettext.install commands in them.
This all basically is to make sure that if used from virt-install/virt-clone
the global message catalog is install, but if used from virt-manager it is
not installed. If you see what i mean. Its a little hairy :-)

Dan.
