Re: [Linphone-developers] Spanish translation

[Álvaro Serrano]

Hello and thanks for the answer! 

It appears you were correct and the file format wasn't encoding the characters 
as UTF-8 by default. I have used another application to edit it and now I can 
build the app using the new file without getting any errors. Attached is the 
new file which should work fine. Let me know if there are any issues.

However I still cannot make my app display the new language. I tried your 
instructions:

I used that command and my es.po file to create a Spanish gtk20.mo file:

$ sudo msgfmt es.po --output-file=gtk20.mo

I then copied it over to the bundled app, in Contents/Resources/share/locale/es

However when I try to run it the language is still English. I figured the issue 
may be occurring only in the bundled app and perhaps the local installation 
would work, so I copied gtk20.mo and replaced the one in 
opt/local/share/locale/es

When I run the locally installed app I get the following message in terminal:

$ /opt/local/bin/linphone ; exit;
** Message: Found lang es

(process:87978): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.


And the displayed language is then English, of course. 

One more thing: I have noticed that inside opt/local/share/locale/es there is 
another file: gtk20-properties.mo. I have no idea what this file does or how it 
is generated.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Álvaro.
