This list is for discussion of the GTK+ documentation tools (such as 
gtk-doc), rather than use of GTK+.  Maybe your question would have been 
more appropriate for gtk-list or gtk-app-devel-list.

In answer to your question, check to see whether the translated text you 
are passing to gtk is in UTF8 format.  If not, then you won't get the 
desired results.
