That sounds reasonable. But we construct our own menus with English
strings. Perhaps a few buttons (like in the File dialogue) will
be internationalized. Have you tried gtk_set_locale() on your
system? Does it help?
A long time ago we had a brief discussion about I18N in Ethereal.
The consensus was that we should keep the protocol decodes in
English, since the RFC's are in English, but it would not be all
that bad to have I18N menus. Some people would prefer them
in English, however, even if their locale was set otherwise.
I18N of Ethereal's menus and dialogues would not be a bad
side project.
Let me know about gtk_set_locale(). If it actually helped,
I'll check in the change.
