Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] string comparison with strcomp
Hallo Marc,
I reported this a long time ago, and got an answer like: gettext doesn't accept source strings in UTF-8. The easiest way to solve it is to write the program in English (with english on buttons, etc) and then write a po file for german. I know, I know, not elegant or easy, but it works. Note that the strings must be edited with a UTF-8 editor.

Hi,
I'm stuck with some sort of nasty problem:
While doing internationalization in a program planned only for german users I started to use the gettext mechanism to translate any descriptive GUI string. The mean part is that my original strings (now used as resourcestrings) do not work if they have german umlauts or the like in it. I want to avoid having to put anything to us-ascii first to get it done.
>From looking at the sources of gettext.pp i know the comparison is done with "StrComp", but this is where I'm stuck. If i use e.g. 'ü' it is represented as \374 (it is $FC) as in:
#: state1:srdataswap msgid " - Daten\374bertragung" msgstr "anything, testing only"
in the .po file. But in translation the msgid is not found (testing with fr_FR as $LANG), but this here:
#: conststr:srokay msgid "OK" msgstr "Oui"
does work. In the .mo file the hex value is $FC as expected (in a hex viewer with french LANG var).
Can someone explain to me what's wrong here and maybe how to get around it?
TIA, Marc
