Re: [Gimp-developer] GIMP 2.99.12 Python User Script's Localization

[Ofnuts <ofnuts gmx com>]

My own plugin does:

    def do_set_i18n(self, *args):
        print(f'do_set_i18n({args})')
        return True, 'ofn-guides-presets',None

(where 'ofn-guides-presets' is the same same as the plugin python file
itself, and as I understand it, if the I18N domain is the same
name as the plugin file, you don't even need to define this method,
because it's the default behavior.

Then you create the .mo file(s)  and put them in a locale/{language
code}/LC_MESSAGES subdirectory of your plugin directory.
ofn-guides-presets/
├── locale
│   └── fr
│       └── LC_MESSAGES
│           └── ofn-guides-presets.mo # messages for French
└── ofn-guides-presets.py   # plugin code

And yes, using 'gimp30-python' in your own scripts doesn't make much
sense (it does for scripts delivered with Gimp, that share the message
base with other code).
