[PLUG] GNU gettext, trying out a translation...

["Kyle R . Burton" <mortis@voicenet.com>]

I've got a small peice of software that uses GNU gettext to handle it's
internationalization.  There are several translations distributed with
this software (en, de, fr, it, etc.).

I used to be able to get this software to display in one of the other
langauges by running it like so:

  [user@host ~]$ LANG=de programName

That no longer works.  I've also tried LANGUAGE=de, and LANGUAGE=de_DE:de.

Is anyone familliar enough with gettext to know how you can get an
application to use a specified translation?


Thanks,

Kyle
