Issue 980500: gettext improvements - Python tracker (original) (raw)

This patch implements the following gettext features, as discussed recently in python-dev:

In _locale module:

• bind_textdomain_codeset() binding

In gettext module:

• bind_textdomain_codeset() function
• lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(), which return translated strings encoded in preferred system encoding, if bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
• Added equivalent functionality in install() and translate() functions and catalog classes.
• Documentated every change.
