[I18n-sig] Problem using gettext

[Werner F. Bruhin]

Hi Philippe,

I think you are missing the "install" step, I do the following:

import gettext
gettext.install('twcb', os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'locale'), unicode=0)
localeDir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'locale')
langEn = gettext.translation('twcb', localeDir, languages=['en'])
langFr = gettext.translation('twcb', localeDir, languages=['fr'])
langDe = gettext.translation('twcb', localeDir, languages=['de'])

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

Above is done just after other imports.

Then I have a function which selects the appropriate lang like this:

     def SetLang(self, lang):
         if lang in ['fr']:
             langFr.install()
         elif lang in ['de']:
             langDe.install()
         else:
             langEn.install()


Hope this helps.
Werner
