Maybe borrowing kde implementation (which > is already C++) it's easier than translating the pascal class I proposed > before (or maybe not ;-). Actually, it seems KDE 4 uses real gettext to do it, and uses the following code: // Point Gettext to new language. setenv("LANGUAGE", language, 1); // Locale directories may differ for different languages of same catalog. bindtextdomain(name, localeDir); Maybe just using 'setenv("LANGUAGE", "de", 1);' will do what we want, without need for setlocale()? :) I have to go now so I can't check that yet. -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
