[pygtk] Using gettext, where am I doing mistake

[Vláďa]

Sorry,

I didn't have much time to look into it lately. Today I spent another 
couple of hours trying to figure out why the translation doesn't work 
for me.

I think the main problem is the path to my .mo file. This is the code I 
now use for testing:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import gettext
import locale
import os

if os.name == 'nt':
   # windows hack for locale setting
   lang = os.getenv('LANG')
   print lang
   if lang is None:
      default_lang, default_enc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
      if default_lang:
         lang = default_lang
      if lang:
         os.environ['LANG'] = lang

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'cz')
gettext.bindtextdomain("translate", "c:/Python/locale")
gettext.textdomain("translate")
_ = gettext.gettext

print gettext.find("translate")

The "find" function should return any matching .mo files. It returns 
None. So I do believe that the problem is somewere in location of the 
.mo file. It is in c:\python\locale\cs\LC_MESSAGES\translate.mo. Is it 
possible to find out at which locations is the gettext extension looking 
for the .mo files?

Thank you,
Vlada
