ganesh, Nisha Pandita
Just replace LANG with LANGUAGE when executing the program.

Very cool website. Thanks for that!

The link to the source code (in the paragraph above the \Conclusion\) links to \pywine_03.tar.gz\ (giving you a 404), but it should read \PyWine_03.tar.gz\ instead.

Couldn’t see this anywhere so thought I’d post it.
Your code would not work for glade file widgets until I changed this:
[code lang=python] self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile,"config")[/code]
to this:
[code lang=python] self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile,"config", gtk.glade.textdomain(APP_NAME))[/code]

I liked your example, it helped me understand quickly how to use gettext.

You might want to fix your link to the updated source – you have it all lowercase as pywine_03.tar.gz and it gets a 404.

I downloaded the source successfully after seeing that the original article called it PyWine.tar.gz, so I tried PyWine_03.tar.gz

Thanks, again,
Bob

Thank you very much for writing this tutorial. I have also included my thanks in the ChangeLog for my project, Rapid Photo Downloader.

One comment: while testing out translations people had done for my project, I spent some hours trying to figure out why the strings generated by Python code would be translated without difficulty, while the glade generated GUI would not be translated at all. On Ubuntu, the solution is to replace this (for example):

LANG=fr_FR ./code-to-run

with this:

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./code-to-run

The second method works just fine.

Another comment: I was able to translate combobox values by subclassing gtk.ComboBox, storing the “real” value in a hidden 1st column, and displaying the translated value in a 2nd column, which is what the user sees. Perhaps there is a better way but this works fine for me at the moment.
