I have previous used GetText for my Delphi applications (dxgettext) and am not looking into the possibility to use GetText with my .Net applications.
But this doesn't seem to go so well. After some work I have managed to extract strings from .cs file to pot files, that seems to work great.
But now I run into troubles:
1) When using msgfmt --csharp, msgfmt says it can't find a C# compiler. How do I tell it where to look?
2) If I find a way to solve problem 1, I've read this in the manual "To use this API, one needs the GNU.Gettext.dll file which is part of the GNU gettext package and distributed under the LGPL." Okay I download gettext-0.16.tar.gz but the dll doesn't seems to be there.
Another thing, the available version of Windows GetText seems to be behind the Unix/Linux (please forgive me for not knowing the difference) version. Does that mean that Windows GetText isn't going to be released in a new version anymore? I think that would be a shame, because I really love GetText and think it would do very well on the .Net. Its IMHO much better than the localization possibilities in Visual Studio.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
