Yes. It is not clear to me how exactly the gettext machinery works, I have been happy to simply use _() and get translated strings. I think I would prefer for now to ignore the locale and output everything in utf8 to the console. Once we sorted out the internal encoding mess we probably have a clearer picture how console output can be done with the correct locale. Georg
