Pwsget is a perfect example to discuss here, as it is so tiny.
1. I took the gettexted version from the i18n_racy55-130331.pet rodin.s posted last week and replaced the 'old' pwsget in precise puppy with it.
2. Made a .pot file with the voodoo commands we learned from L18L:

4. Made and added .mo file to LC_MESSAGES.
5. Pwsget still in English.
I did this twice to make certain it was not an accidental error. No juice....
All this was done outside of Momanager.
Any hint would be mmmmost welcome!
PS I checked the .po with
Code: Select all
msgfmt pwsget.po
No errors.
PS2. Same problem with HardInfo and a few others.
