FVWM: LocalePath not working?

[Michelle Konzack]

I had and now I have in my "config"

LocalePath "$[FVWM_USERDIR]/locale;tdfvwm:/usr/share/locale;fvwm"

and the file

~/.fvwm/locale/de/tdfvwm.mo

but it is not recognized. The xsession-errors show not a singel error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Michelle

You've forgotten LC_MESSAGES in your path:
~/.fvwm/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/tdfvwm.mo

Good morning Thomas,

Ahh, I was to long away from GNU/Linux and off-line...

However, it does not work for me...

Since the gettext tools can not read the fvwm configs by default, I had
to copy the strings by hand and maybe there is a locale/UTF8 problem,
because "msgfmt" complaint about wrong UTF8 sequences and I corrected it
manualy, but only 5 strings with german umlauts...

Do you know (or have) a tool or script, which get the $[gt.xxx] strings
automaticaly to create the "po" file?

Thanks
Michelle

Hi again,

Now I have used my own BASH script to generate a tdfvwm.pot and used

1) the graphical tool "poedit"
2) the webinterface "pootle"

but both generated tdfvwm.mo files are not working.

If I call them simply "fvwm.mo" and use
LocalePath=$[FVWM_USERDIR]/locale

it does not work either. This is bizzar, becasue FVWM give no errors.

I've described the language translation under
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/wiki/Documentation#Language

This should normally work. Also if you don't know what content in the header is
needed in the pot and po file have a look into fvwm's sources under po/ or see
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/templates/fvwm-nightshade.pot
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/po/fvwm-nightshade.de.po

I have done nothing different from this.

My POs look like the same but do not work.
