getting localised string

Question

I have created a localized fr_FR_Locale.mo files from fr_FR.po.

I have used sgettext, msginit and msgfmt command from terminal.

I have changed my local to french(fr_FR.utf8).

But when i execute my code i am not getting what i am expecting. Here is my call:

setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
bindtextdomain("locale",LC_INTL);
bind_textdomain_codeset("locale", "UTF-8");
textdomain("locale");
printf(gettext("Hello world!"));

Here the output should be some thing non english, but i am getting same English words.

Could it have anything to do with using the wrong form of the encoding name (`utf8` instead of `UTF-8`) in the locale name string? — R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE, Dec 28 '10 at 07:03

Perhaps your mo-file isn't found. I don't know what LC_INTL means or where you installed your mo-file. But let's say you installed it as /usr/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/MyApp.mo, the code should look like:

setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
bindtextdomain("MyApp","/usr/local/share/locale");
bind_textdomain_codeset("MyApp","UTF-8");
textdomain("MyApp");
