Hi, 

When I execute the following, my hello world text is not translated. What am 
I doing wrong? Do I need something set up or installed before I can test the 
de_DE locale?

Thanks,

Steve.

address@hidden:~/kde/src/playground/gettext_test$ vi main.cpp
address@hidden:~/kde/src/playground/gettext_test$ g++ -o main main.cpp
address@hidden:~/kde/src/playground/gettext_test$ ./main
Hello World
address@hidden:~/kde/src/playground/gettext_test$ cat main.cpp


#include<libintl.h>

#include<locale.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
    char *btd = bindtextdomain("i18n", "/home/kde-
devel/kde/src/playground/gettext_test");
    char *td = textdomain("i18n");

    printf(gettext("Hello World\n"));
    return 0;
}
