Summary: Misleading documentation for gettext
Initial Comment:
in location:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.1.1/lib/node187.html
there are docs for translation(), but there is no
indication or link to mappings between the supplied
language and the subdirectory actually searched.
A link to the relevant information would help people
considerably, or rather an NB mentioning that
the 'languages' in the translation() docs is not the
plural of the 'language' in the find() docs.
Once I'd renamed my French resource directores fr ->
fr_FR it all worked, of course, but I only discovered
this from debugging gettext :(
kind regards,
-Simon Harrison.
On a side note, I have an alternative pygettext.py
that inserts the English as the translated text when
the "-t" option is supplied (test). This has been
fairly useful since it allows me to run the code, and
test for correct operation prior to real translation.
I can supply the new version if useful.
