thank you now it works and all my string are translated. But as you said
switching languages is small problem now. I am using pygtk and I have no
idea how to re-load all strings in my app when I click on button with
another language. Any idea?

> The usual way of using gettext is to use the system locale to determine
Why is usually gettext use with system locale? I think the better way is to
leave user to select his language (or switch to another). Should I use
something else than gettext in this case? thanks
