i18n under Windows?

wxPython Users

Hi friends,

I have setup i18n routine in my app. On Linux it's works, as it should to work. But on Windows 2000 SP I caught following bug (see screenshot).

Here the code, that raise this bug:

     # set up internatiolization
     global _wxloc
     wx.Locale_AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix(locations['locale'])
     _wxloc = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_DEFAULT) # Seems error was appear on
     _wxloc.AddCatalog('bbcalc') # this two line???
     import __builtin__
     setattr(__builtin__, '_', wx.GetTranslation)

locations['locale'] is a os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 'i18n'))

PS. wxPython 2.8.0.1

You need to create your wx.App object before you can create the wx.Locale object.

locations['locale'] is a os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 'i18n'))

What if you change it to:
wx.Locale.AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix(locations['locale'])

Note the full stop after wx.Locale.

You might want to have a look at the I18n module in the wxPython demo (as of 2.8).

That's it! After I have move i18n routine in to OnInit method of wx.App subclass everything starts working on Windows!

Thanks!

No matter if there a stop ot underline. It starts working only after I has move all i18n initilize routine into OnInit method of wx.App subclass.

Danke!

Is it an innovation of 2.8 branch? I am not too sure, but is it differ from 2.6?

I don't remember for sure in this case, but it is possible. There were a number of internal things changed that could have an effect like this.

They are basically the same thing. One is a standalone function and one is a static method, but they both call the same C++ function.
