I would like to suggest the attached patch against sysinst. It is a bit strange, since the net effect, right now, is void. However, I think it (a) helps debugging and (b) is a step in the right direction. What it does: - each translation identifies the output locale it assumes - the necessary setlocale() calls are done when a translation is loaded In the dynamically linked version (i.e. for debugging) this works just fine. In the crunched version linked against libhack, of course, setlocale() basically is a no-op, so this change does nothing in the end (for now). The bloat is minimal - just one additional string per translation. What do you think? Martin P.S.: we should be -><- this close to a usable wide char version of sysinst, now that wcurses is integrated. Any volunteers for a japanese translation?
