The default locale on my system (Linux) is ru_US. When I change the language to Russian (LANG = ru_RU./show_form.py), the python string "hello to me" is correctly displayed (in the console), the other (field form) is in English. (LANG = ru_RU.utf-8./show_form.py - the same result).
What am I doing wrong?
I have simple python code like (show_form.py):
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import pygtk, gtk, gtk.glade import locale, gettext APP="show_form" DIR="locale" locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') gettext.bindtextdomain(APP, DIR) gettext.textdomain(APP) lang = gettext.translation(APP, DIR) _ = lang.gettext gettext.install(APP, unicode=False, codeset='utf-8', localedir=DIR) print _("hello to me") wTree = gtk.glade.XML("localize.glade") gtk.glade.bindtextdomain(APP, DIR) window = wTree.get_widget("window1") window.connect("delete_event", lambda wid, we: gtk.main_quit()) window.show_all() gtk.main()
and .mo files for some languages ..po files below:

and en_US (e.g. with another msgstr). And a small glade with a label, button, flag.
Upd:
Lines for creating My.mo:
intltool-extract --type=gettext/glade localize.glade xgettext --language=Python --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ --output=show_form.pot show_form.py localize.glade.h msginit --locale=ru --input=show_form.pot msginit --locale=en_US --input=show_form.pot msginit --locale=de_DE --input=show_form.pot
I fix the .po files after that.
And in the end:
msgfmt ru.po -o locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/show_form.mo msgfmt en_US.po -o locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/show_form.mo msgfmt de.po -o locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/show_form.mo
Update 2: Solution
-wTree = gtk.glade.XML("localize.glade") gtk.glade.bindtextdomain(APP, DIR) +wTree = gtk.glade.XML("localize.glade", "window1", APP)
