Re: [poedit-users] getting started

Hi Christian,

I am no good in C++ but as I use wxPython (a Python wrapper of wxWidget) 
I might have some pointers for you.

You are aware that you only need to distribute the .mo?  You might also 
want to change "locales" to "locale" which seems to be the standard 
used, but then this is nitpicking :-) .

Do you really want to translate "locales" and "ob"?  Shouldn't does be 
just strings - I guess they are after the translation has gone through, 
but not sure if this should work.  But looking at my code I guess it 
could be the "./" which is missing in yours.

With wxPython I do:
# Define the "_" method, pointing it to wxPython's GetTranslation method
__builtins__._ = wx.GetTranslation
# Define the location of the Machine Object language files
wx.Locale_AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix('./locale')

class BoaApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        wx.InitAllImageHandlers()

        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_GERMAN,
                        wx.LOCALE_LOAD_DEFAULT | wx.LOCALE_CONV_ENCODING)
        self.locale.AddCatalog('yourapp')

To switch language:
    def SetLang(self, lang):
        if lang in ['de']:
            if hasattr(self, 'locale'):
                del self.locale
            self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_GERMAN,
                        wx.LOCALE_LOAD_DEFAULT | wx.LOCALE_CONV_ENCODING)
            self.locale.AddCatalog('yourapp')
            self.aConfig.Write(key='Language', value='de')
        else:
            if hasattr(self, 'locale'):
                del self.locale
            self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH,
                        wx.LOCALE_LOAD_DEFAULT | wx.LOCALE_CONV_ENCODING)
            self.locale.AddCatalog('yourapp')
            self.aConfig.Write(key='Language', value='en')

Note that the above only changes texts from "yourapp", any texts coming 
from wxPython require an application restart.

If it would be useful I can send you a small wxPython app which demos 
the i18n.

Hope this helps
Werner
