Re: GNU: Problem avec le gettext

[Jean-Louis Tang]

Hello, everyone,

   Thank you for your replies. I followed your advices but I encountered
the following issues (in blue) ( and attached what we did ):

( The original issue that we have some trouble to use the getText 
function. )

Please find hereafter the steps that I have done to test the GNU gettext 
API_ and the results:

> 1. create the sample program (/hello.c/)
> 2. create the template file (/hello.pot/) by:
>    xgettext -d hello -s -o hello.pot hello.c
> 3. create the PO file (/chi.po/) by:
>    msginit -l zh_CN.utf8 -o chi.po -i hello.pot
> 4. create the MO file (/hello.mo/) by:
>    msgfmt -c -v -o hello.mo chi.po
> 5. copy the MO file to the directory LC_MESSAGES under its locale
>    cp hello.mo ./zh_CN.utf8/LC_MESSAGES   *OR*
>    cp hello.mo ./zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES   6. set the current locale to
