[gaim-migrate @ 8369] this didn't cause me any problems yesterday, and it compiles, and bug fixing is a good thing. "Some month ago I introduced translatable texts for "gaim --help" and "gaim-remote --help". Unfortunately the output of the translated text is often unreadable. The problem is, that Gaim's *.po files have the UTF-8 locale (because this is the default charset for GTK+ 2.0). But the users may have configured other locales. For instance my SuSE Linux 9.0 system is configured with LANG=de_DE@euro. "euro" is ISO-8859-1 (Western character set, 8 Bit, with the Euro currency symbol). Lots of UTF-8 characters are unreadable if they are displayed in a 8 Bit charset without conversion. Only the 7 Bit chars are displayed right. There are two possible solutions: 1) Make the console texts untranslatable. This isn't very clever. 2) Convert the texts from UTF-8 to user's locale. I choose the second solution. The conversion cannot be made during the translation, because gettext does not allow a mix of different character sets in one po-file. My patch converts the console strings from UTF-8 to users locale. Normally this works right, because most users have a locale which is compatible with their language. The case where a user uses a language (for instance German: LANG=de_DE) with an incompatible character set (for instance the 7Bit charset LC_CTYPE=C) is also handled. The user then sees a warning and the original UTF-8 message. At first I tried to make a new UTF-8 function in src/util.c. But the function is needed 5 times in src/gaim-remote.c and 2 times in src/main.c. gaim-remote is not linked against util.o. Also there are a lot of dependencies from util.o to other files, so I will introduce a lot of trouble to link gaim-remote against util.o. So I only wrote a function in src/gaim-remote.c and used the UTF-8 conversion inline in src/main.c." --Bjoern Voigt committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
