Localization Scilab / Scipad

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello,

The localization mailing-list would more appropriate but as Enrico is
not subscribed to it, I send the email here.

I would like to see two points with the Scipad developers:

* The easy one, when Scilab is started in an other language, I would
like to tell to Scipad to use the same language. What would be the best
way to do it ?

* I am coming back on a point we discuss almost a year ago about the
localization of Scipad itself. At the moment, Scipad and Scilab don't
use the same procedure for localization. As a matter of uniformisation
and simplification, it would be great if Scipad could switch to
gettext. 
Basically, this involves to:
	- change the call to the localization process (basically gettext)
	Gettext is providing two examples for the use of gettext in TCL:
http://publicsvn.songbirdnest.com/browser/vendor/gettext/current/gettext-tools/examples/hello-tcl/hello.tcl
http://publicsvn.songbirdnest.com/browser/vendor/gettext/current/gettext-tools/examples/hello-tcl-tk/hello.tcl
	As you already know, I am not at all a TCL guru. Then, I leave to your
judgment which one would be best for Scipad. 
	- convert your current localization files to the gettext format

After that, you could also use some tools we have to update
localizations files.
For example, SCI/tools/localization/updateLocalizationModule.sh
What do you think about that ?

Cheers,
Sylvestre
