Re: [gtk-list] gtk_window_set_title function

[Scherf Andreas <scherfa fh-trier de>]

The untderbar is normaly a wrapper for Internationalization and could be 
defined this way in any header file :

/* Internationalization. */
#ifdef ENABLE_NLS
#include <libintl.h>
#undef _
#define _(String) dgettext (PACKAGE, String)
#ifdef gettext_noop
#define N_(String) gettext_noop (String)
#else
#define N_(String) (String)
#endif
#else
/* Stubs that do something close enough.  */
#define textdomain(String) (String)
#define gettext(String) (String)
#define dgettext(Domain,Message) (Message)
#define dcgettext(Domain,Message,Type) (Message)
#define bindtextdomain(Domain,Directory) (Domain)
#define _(String) (String)
#define N_(String) (String)
#endif
 
gettext changes the following texts here ("Freeciv") in any supported
language.
