Re: [Bug-gnubg] link problem: locale_charset in libiconv/libintl on Mac OS X

[Olivier Baur]

I've managed to have internationalisation work on Mac OS X.

The problem didn't come from some obscure libintl/libiconv link 
problem, but from the fact that I hadn't properly run the make install 
script and didn't have the gnubg/po/LL.gmo files copied to 
/usr/local/share/locale/LL/LC_MESSAGES/gnubg.mo (I thought that the 
files in gnubg/po were the ones actually used for runtime translation, 
but this is not the case; and the make install script couldn't copy the 
.gmo files to /usr/local/share/locale because it didn't have sufficient 
rights, and didn't exit with an error code, so I didn't notice anything 
was going wrong during the make process)

Now, everything works fine despite the warning messages still thrown by 
GDK and GTK at runtime (I've discovered it comes from Apple's 
implementation of setlocale returns and error code when used with arg 
LC_ALL, but does the work anyway)

Now that it works for me :-), I'd like to provide a French version of 
gnubg.

I've already quite extensively read all the libintl/gettext 
documentation (guess why...), and I've also installed kbabel (found the 
name in Achim's po/de.po translation file). Any advice, do's and 
dont's, before I start?
