Guess what, the program works fine for me with the GTK+ 2.16.6 bundle from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.16/ . I have the "bin" from that in PATH, no other GTK+ related directories in PATH, and I verified with gdb that the DLLs really are from that bundle. I have i18ntest.exe in a folder, runb msgfmt -o ru/LC_MESSAGES/i18ntest.mo ru.po, and then run LANG=ru ./i18ntest. The label says Русский тест . (If a create a Swedish message catalog, and run i18ntest without any LANG environment variable, I get the Swedish translation just fine, too, as my Windows locale is Swedish (Finland).) I also tested with the 2.16.1 bundle, and with the 2.14.7 bundle, also worked fine. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
