Gettext Mac GUI application returning wrong characters |

I have an application that uses gettext / libintl for translation (to Spanish).
It works fine on Linux. On macOS Catalina 10.15.5, however, it only works
fine when the application is started command-line. If the application is
started from the Finder or from the Applications directory, the text is
translated to Spanish, but the non ASCII characters are sent as two characters,
like ~n or ´o.
My environment is Spanish.
$ locale
LANG=""
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
The code that binds the locale is the following:
namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
const char* tmp = setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
// Create and install global locale
try {
std::locale::global( std::locale("") );
// Make boost.filesystem use it
fs::path::imbue(std::locale());
}
catch( const std::runtime_error& e )
{
std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
}
char buf[1024];
sprintf( buf, “mrViewer%s”, mrv::version() );
std::string program = argv[0];
fs::path file = fs::path( program );
file = fs::absolute( file );
fs::path dir = file.branch_path();
std::string path = fs::canonical( dir ).generic_string();
path += "/share/locale";
std::cerr << "Looking for translation in " << path << std::endl;
bindtextdomain(buf, path.c_str() );
textdomain(buf);
// the rest of the code….
}
I don’t know if this is a bug or something I am doing wrong on my side. I am
using the latest gettext from brew ( 0.20.2_1 ).
