Hello,
I am wondering if there is support for gettext in the linaro toolchain? How can I check it if it should work or not? I can compile and link the "setlocale()" and "bindtextdomain()" and "textdomain()" functions, however, the translation doesn't work.
Best regards Tom,

Hi Tom. To start, which build and version are you running? The best way to check is by running 'arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version'
The gettext() functions are provided by GLIBC and should work. I recommend using strace to check where your program is actually looking for the translations and going from there.
Hope that helps,

I found out now that I always get the "C" locale(which is normal at program startup), and setting it to anything else doesn't work: I get 0 from the setlocale() function. If I set "C" as the locale, then it doesn't return 0 so the function works. So maybe my buildroot is missing something. I will check with strace too. Thanks!
