wx-Glade- All labels have an underscore appended at the beginning

wxPython Users
1

I am using wxGlade 2.8.12.1.
All the labels I create on the GUI, when I generate the code for those,an "" (underscore) gets appended at the beginning. I do not want that. Has someone experienced this before?
Is there a reason why this happens? I combed through all the options and I do no see something that would do so…obviously!
****("Speed : "))— it looks like this!

Any suggestions?

This is an internationalization feature. The underscore is actually a function that returns a translated string, using the gnu gettext system. See:

Not sure if/ how it can be turned of in wxGlade, but maybe knowing what it is will help you find it.

Unfortunately the python shell replaces _ with a shortcut to the
last evaluation result which can make debugging interesting to say
the least.
If you untick “Enable gettext support” then they should go away.
