Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Common Printing Dialog: PPD extension specs updated

[Till K. <til...@gm...>]

I have tried your test program on a system with English, French, and 
German locales installed and get no translated text in the output.

My locale settings:

till@till-laptop:~/gutenprint/cvs/HEAD/print$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
till@till-laptop:~/gutenprint/cvs/HEAD/print$

Also running with "LC_ALL=" or "LC_ALL=en_GB.ISO-8859-1" did not change 
anything.
