[vdr] Problem with locales and gettext

16 Dec 2007


      Hi,
I've a problem with the locales.
Everytime I start my server with VDR, the locales are not recognized.
I've done a bit of debugging output to see where the problem is located.
The entries (*.mo) in the "locales" directory are found.
The environment is set correctly,
but the "LanguageName" is not translated with the gettext function.
When I restart the vdr-process, the locales are found.
Where is the problem?
==== i18n.c =====
  textdomain("vdr");
  bindtextdomain("vdr", I18nLocaleDir);
  cFileNameList Locales(I18nLocaleDir, true);
  if (Locales.Size() > 0) {
     char *OldLocale = strdup(setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, NULL));
     for (int i = 0; i < Locales.Size(); i++) {
         cString FileName = cString::sprintf("%s/%s/LC_MESSAGES/vdr.mo", 
I18nLocaleDir, Locales[i]);
         if (access(FileName, F_OK) == 0) { // found a locale with VDR texts
            dsyslog("%s/%s/LC_MESSAGES/vdr.mo", I18nLocaleDir, Locales[i]);
            if (NumLocales < I18N_MAX_LANGUAGES - 1) {
               SetEnvLanguage(Locales[i]);
               dsyslog("%s/%s", Locales[i], getenv("LANGUAGE"));
               const char *TranslatedLanguageName = gettext(LanguageName);
               dsyslog("%s/%s",LanguageName,TranslatedLanguageName);
               if (TranslatedLanguageName != LanguageName) {
                  NumLocales++;
                  if (strstr(OldLocale, Locales[i]) == OldLocale)
                     CurrentLanguage = LanguageLocales.Size();
                  LanguageLocales.Append(strdup(Locales[i]));
                  LanguageNames.Append(strdup(TranslatedLanguageName));
                  const char *Code = gettext(LanguageCode);
                  for (const char **lc = LanguageCodeList; *lc; lc++) {
                      if (ContainsCode(*lc, Code)) {
                         Code = *lc;
                         break;
                         }
                      }
                  LanguageCodes.Append(strdup(Code));
                  }
               }
            else {
               esyslog("ERROR: too many locales - increase 
I18N_MAX_LANGUAGES!");
               break;
               }
            }
         }
     SetEnvLanguage(LanguageLocales[CurrentLanguage]);
     free(OldLocale);
     dsyslog("found %d locales in %s", NumLocales - 1, I18nLocaleDir);
     }
