Hi, i18n of messages and other things require setlocale. AFAIK there are no call to setlocale in the sources. Adding setlocale(LC_ALL,""); to start of each main() should be enough. Otherwise applications will be running in "C" locale. regards, junichi -- dancer@debian.org : Junichi Uekawa http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer GPG Fingerprint : 17D6 120E 4455 1832 9423 7447 3059 BF92 CD37 56F4 Libpkg-guide: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/
