Here is something for people having this problem to try... I'm attaching test_i18n.c, a simplistic i18n test program. You should be able to compile it without any additional C flags or libraries. And I get this result from it: bash$ LANG=de ./test_i18n msgid: White on black msgstr: Weiß auf schwarz msgid: Reset and _Clear msgstr: Reset and _Clear So, what do other people get? Can anyone get this program to misbehave? If you can, then there is simply something wrong in the i18n library. (Big trouble). But I bet it works, and something is going wrong along the line in the GNOME libraries. What about gnome-hello-2-i18n ?
