Hi, I've a problem with the locales. Everytime I start my server with VDR, the locales are not recognized. I've done a bit of debugging output to see where the problem is located. The entries (*.mo) in the "locales" directory are found. The environment is set correctly, but the "LanguageName" is not translated with the gettext function. When I restart the vdr-process, the locales are found. Where is the problem? ==== i18n.c ===== textdomain("vdr"); bindtextdomain("vdr", I18nLocaleDir); cFileNameList Locales(I18nLocaleDir, true); if (Locales.Size() > 0) { char *OldLocale = strdup(setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, NULL)); for (int i = 0; i < Locales.Size(); i++) { cString FileName = cString::sprintf("%s/%s/LC_MESSAGES/vdr.mo", I18nLocaleDir, Locales[i]); if (access(FileName, F_OK) == 0) { // found a locale with VDR texts dsyslog("%s/%s/LC_MESSAGES/vdr.mo", I18nLocaleDir, Locales[i]); if (NumLocales < I18N_MAX_LANGUAGES - 1) { SetEnvLanguage(Locales[i]); dsyslog("%s/%s", Locales[i], getenv("LANGUAGE")); const char *TranslatedLanguageName = gettext(LanguageName); dsyslog("%s/%s",LanguageName,TranslatedLanguageName); if (TranslatedLanguageName != LanguageName) { NumLocales++; if (strstr(OldLocale, Locales[i]) == OldLocale) CurrentLanguage = LanguageLocales.Size(); LanguageLocales.Append(strdup(Locales[i])); LanguageNames.Append(strdup(TranslatedLanguageName)); const char *Code = gettext(LanguageCode); for (const char **lc = LanguageCodeList; *lc; lc++) { if (ContainsCode(*lc, Code)) { Code = *lc; break; } } LanguageCodes.Append(strdup(Code)); } } else { esyslog("ERROR: too many locales - increase I18N_MAX_LANGUAGES!"); break; } } } SetEnvLanguage(LanguageLocales[CurrentLanguage]); free(OldLocale); dsyslog("found %d locales in %s", NumLocales - 1, I18nLocaleDir); } ========== == no locales are found === Dec 16 02:30:21 vdr vdr: [2292] VDR version 1.5.12 started Dec 16 02:30:21 vdr vdr: [2292]
