[Demexp-dev] Re: Issue to use ocaml-gettext with lablgtk

Ok. I'll fix that.

Partially, with a .glade file.

Ok. I'll check but if I remember correctly, this is indeed the case currently.

I'm using a .glade file, embedded in my application and loaded
transparently by Lablgtk.

Ok, that explains my issue.

However, I'm also using "_s" functions. I suppose I have to define a
second module for those translations. How am I supposed to use both
modules? What should be the init sequence? (BTW, I would be nice to
put a word on this in your documentation)

Maybe I've not understood but this is apparently a logging library. I
was speaking more specifically of ocaml-gettext library debugging. But
maybe you plan to add this library as a depency to ocaml-gettext? In
that case, it would add another dependency to my own ones. :-( Anyway,
any help in debugging ocaml-gettext woud be useful.

Here is the source code:
http://www.linux-france.org/~dmentre/demexp/latest-src/demexp--dev--0.7.tar.gz

The caml sources are made with noweb (nowebm debian package). They are
ending in .ml.nw.

The DemexpGettext module is defined in the lib/demexpGettext.ml.nw
file. It is used by gtk2-clnt/demexp-gtk2-client.ml.nw file. There is
also a call to an "_s" function in the latter source file. We plan to
add more calls soon. As usual, the translations are in the po/
directory.  Most part of the Makefile are in config/Makefile.inc.

I'll give another try to this issue soon. Thank you for the help.

Best wishes,
