Hello,
the printpreview dialog seems to use always the English language instead of the default localisation of the OS
(on w2k, py 2.5.1 wxpy 2.8.7.1). Is there any way to adjust that ?

The PreintPreview is generic wx code, so the translated strings should be in the wxstd.mo files, so that is where you should start looking for the source of the problem. Check if you are doing anything that might prevent that catalog from being loaded. Does a wxstd.mo exist for the default language in your locale? Etc.

Hi Robin,
thanks for your replay. I have a wxstd.mo file for my default language: German. Checked the german .po file in the SVN repository and also decompiled the wxst.mo file on my machine with poedit. In both cases I found the right translations for all words related to printing.
Tried the demo and the printing example of chapter 17 of wxPiA to make sure that I don't do anything to prevent the catalog from being loaded. Same result. I should mention that all other dialogs like print dialog, page setup dialog and print setup dialog appears in German.
Currently I have the wxpython library installed on three machines (one XP, two W2K) and I remember the problem at least for the last three or four releases of wxPython. If I count the py2exe compiled programms too, then I can admit the problem for at least a dozen of diffent machines (either XP or W2K).
Using wx.Locale doesn't change anything, but that makes sense as it is a native dialog of the OS. Maybe anyone other whoms default language isn't English can sprint in to confirm the behavior ?
While I'm not that brilliant C/C++ programmer I like to analyse it further. Robin could you please be so kind to give some hints where I can find the sources of the underlying wx code (directory of SVN or topic to search for or even better a file name) ?
Thanks
Jürgen

Actually, it should. IIRC, it should be causing the message catalog for the matching language to be loaded. Remember that you need to hold a reference to the locale object otherwise it will be reset default when the object goes out of scope.

Hello Robin,
got it. Thanks.
