Hi Klaus, first thanks for your lightning like reply, but I'm afraid it doesn't help me. After the newplugin-script there is no po-folder, no pot/po/mo-file. If I do what you wrote (README.i18n), then it gives this: - Change into the source directory. - Do a 'make i18n' to have the current *.pot file created. torsten@torsten-entw:/usr/src/vdr/vdr/PLUGINS/src/dummy$ ls COPYING dummy.c dummy.o HISTORY libvdr-dummy.so Makefile README torsten@torsten-entw:/usr/src/vdr/vdr/PLUGINS/src/dummy$ make i18n for i in ; do\ mkdir -p ../../../locale/$i/LC_MESSAGES;\ cp po/$i.mo ../../../locale/$i/LC_MESSAGES/vdr-dummy.mo;\ done torsten@torsten-entw:/usr/src/vdr/vdr/PLUGINS/src/dummy$ ls COPYING dummy.c dummy.o HISTORY libvdr-dummy.so Makefile README I already tried different LC_ALL-settings.
