Hi All,
I included these lines in my program before gtk_init()
setlocale (LC_ALL, " ");
bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
bind_textdomain_codeset (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8");
textdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
Also used gettext and translated strings and used msgfmt to get .mo
file. I translated to German for example and placed the .mo file in
de/LC_MESSAGES/ directory. I exported LANG environmental variable to
'de'.
But when i run the program i get these error messages.
(process:1072): Gdk-DirectFB-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
(german_eg.out:1072): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
What could be the reason why this error is coming? Am i missing out any step?
