Implementing gettext localization into GIMP plugin

Hello everyone, I’m trying to add l18n support into a widely used plugin for GIMP.

In few words, I followed the former way to add localization support using gettext, that’s the same system used by GIMP’s core.

So, I’ve converted all my localizable strings into _(”string-id”), then I’ve added the following rows before starting the plugin interface:

bindtextdomain (”plugin-name”, “./plugin-locale”); bind_textdomain_codeset (”plugin-name”, "UTF-8"); textdomain (”plugin-name”);

“plugin-locale” folder is structured in this way:

plugin-locale/

en/

LC_MESSAGES/

messages.po

it/

LC_MESSAGES/

messages.po

I get no errors while compiling, but all the strings remain untranslated.

Am I missing something? Thank you.

Ale
