Q. Why the message when I enter '9' is not translated?
A. This is on purpose: the corresponding string wasn't enclosed in _() macro and
so didn't get into the message catalog when it was created using xgettext.

Q. Why the message when I enter '17' is only partly translated?
A. This will only work under some versions of Linux, don't worry if the second
half of the sentence is not translated.
A. First of all, you will need the GNU gettext tools (see the next question).
After you've probably installed them, type the following (example is for Unix
and you should do exactly the same under Windows).
-
+
# all translations forgiven language should be in a separate directory.
# Please use the standard abbreviation for the language names!
mkdir <language>
# generate the .po file for the program itself
# see `xgettext --help' for options, "-C" is important!
- xgettext -C -n -k_ -kwxPLURAL:1,2 -kwxTRANSLATE -k_T -o internat.po ../internat.cpp
-
- # .po file for wxWidgets might be generated in the same way. An already
- # generated wxstd.pot as well as translations for some languages can be
+ xgettext -C -n -k_ -kwxPLURAL:1,2 -kwxTRANSLATE -o internat.po ../internat.cpp
+
+ # .po file for wxWidgets might be generated in the same way. An already
+ # generated wxstd.pot as well as translations for some languages can be
# found in the locale directory.
cp ../../locale/<language>.po ./wxstd.pot
- or -
# run the sample to test it
cd ..
- ./internat <language>
+ ./internat <language>
Q. How to get the gettext tools?
A. For Unix, you should be able to get the source distribution of any GNU mirror
