either, so I try, try again.)
Hi.
I've updated the files ap_TB_LabelSet_no-BOK.h, ap_Menu_LabelSet_no-BOK.h
and no-BOK.strings on the cvs tree, as checked out July 18 11:05 CET
(GMT+1).
According to dumpstrings.pl, the no-BOK.strings file is now at 99%
completeness.
However, there's one fly in the ointment. The update .h files display has
AbiWord display Norwegian menus nicely, but even tho I follow the steps
described in docs/AbiSource_Localization.abw, none of the entries from
no-BOK.strings seem to be used.
If I do Tools->Word count, the word count popup window displays en-US
strings. I've even tried export LANG=no_NO, export LANG=no_BOK, and some
permutations thereof.
By setting LANG to da_DK, I get danish support nicely, I get german if I
set to de_DE, etc. But simply not Norwegian.
The C library prefers to use no_NO when referring to Norwegian, and this
might be a problem since Norwegian comes in two (closely related)
flavours: Bokmål and Nynorsk.
According to strace, the file no_NO.strings is opened. And yes, all the
paths check out.
I'm a bit at a loss on what to do next here, except using gdb to
trace through the startup sequence for AbiWord..
Any comments would be more than welcome.
