Re: Apply gettext to Gtk2::GladeXML

[Chris Debenham - RSD Engineer <Chris Debenham Sun COM>]

I'm doing this in one of my applications (lyricue, see 
www.adebenham.com/lyricue)
The relevant bit is:

--- begin code ---

eval { require Locale::gettext };
if ($@) {
    print "Gettext not available, english text only\n";

    sub gettext {
        return $@;
    }
} else {
    import Locale::gettext;
    textdomain('lyricue');

    # Hack to get this working under mandrake
    use lib qw(/usr/lib/libDrakX);
    eval { require c::stuff };
    if ($@) {
        bind_textdomain_codeset('lyricue', "UTF-8");
    } else {
        c::stuff::bind_textdomain_codeset('lyricue', "UTF-8");
    }
}

--- end code ---

Then to translate you extract the strings from the .glade file using 
'intltool-update -p' which will create a .pot file which you use for 
translation.
Have a look at the source code for lyricue (relevant translations are in 
the 'po' directory) to see an example of usage
Let me know if you need anymore help, I know how hard this is to figure 
out (took me ages :-) )
