I emerged babytrans without problems, but when I type a word to get a translation I get only a lot of squares and y's. I tried to re-emerge it several times, even after an emerge -uD system, but with no luck. This is my emerge info Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/x86/2004.0, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 26 2005, 14:34:59)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.4.3-r4, 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="es" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl dvd emacs emboss encode esd f77 fam fftw flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gb gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 icq imagemagick imlib ipv6 jpeg kde ldap leim libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg msn mysql ncurses nls opengl oss pam pdflib perl plotutils png ppds python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb xml xml2 xmms xv yahoo zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Carlos, I was unable to reproduce your problem could you, please, give me some informations: Which version of gettext do you have? Which version did you tried to install? Which dictionaries do you have installed? If you start it from inside from a terminal emulator (like xterm, gnome-terminal, etc), does it display any error message?
Hi angusyoung I'm very sorry for the delay. In response to your questions: 1. My version of gettext is 0.12.1-r2 2. My version of babytrans is 0.9.2-r3 3. I have installed babytrans-en, version 0.2 I think I have a problem with the locale because when I start babytrans from console I obtain: Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged. I have export LANG="es" in /etc/profile but, for example, when I type date in a console I obtain it in english. What should I do? Do I have to remerge glibc? I see that the only USE flag I used for it was nls. Thanks for your help.
I am very sorry for wasting your time Angus Young. Stupid me: I didn't write the country after the language in LANG!!!! I figured it out this weekend. Sorry. But after I made the change, I re-emerged babytrans and still obtain the same problem. What could be wrong?? Please help!! I'm desperate for a good translator.
It's a bit weird, mainly because no matter what I do I can't reproduce the problem. I'd try doing the following: export LC_ALL instead of only LANG (also check whether you have the corresponding charset - iso, utf-8, etc - for your locale).
Also, try running a locale -a to check which locales are available for you (feel free to post your es_* locales here, so I can try to reproduce your problem).
Hi Angus Young I followed your recommendations but obtained no change at all. So i tried to re-emerge the dependencies of babytrans. When I was emerging gtk+-1.2.10-r11 i obtained the following warning: ####################### * Applying gtk+-1.2.10-r8-gentoo.diff.bz2 ... [ ok ] * Applying gtk+-1.2-locale_fix.patch ...

You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal. ######################## As you see there is a locale patch. Maybe this is causing the problem. Besides i saw that i have two versions of libtool installed: 1.4.3-r4 and 1.5.10-r4, and i observed too this message during the compilation of gtk+ /libtool: line 1: -e: command not found As you asked, this is the list of es_* locales es_AR es_AR.iso88591 es_AR.utf8 es_BO es_BO.iso88591 es_BO.utf8 es_CL es_CL.iso88591 es_CL.utf8 es_CO es_CO.iso88591 es_CO.utf8 es_CR es_CR.iso88591 es_CR.utf8 es_DO es_DO.iso88591 es_DO.utf8 es_EC es_EC.iso88591 es_EC.utf8 es_ES es_ES@euro es_ES.iso88591 es_ES.iso885915@euro es_ES.utf8 es_GT es_GT.iso88591 es_GT.utf8 es_HN es_HN.iso88591 es_HN.utf8 es_MX es_MX.iso88591 es_MX.utf8 es_NI es_NI.iso88591 es_NI.utf8 es_PA es_PA.iso88591 es_PA.utf8 es_PE es_PE.iso88591 es_PE.utf8 es_PR es_PR.iso88591 es_PR.utf8 es_PY es_PY.iso88591 es_PY.utf8 es_SV es_SV.iso88591 es_SV.utf8 es_US es_US.iso88591 es_US.utf8 es_UY es_UY.iso88591 es_UY.utf8 es_VE es_VE.iso88591 es_VE.utf8 Thanks for help Carlos
Sorry, but you didn't told me which dictionary you are using ... Could you please, provide me this information?
I'm using just english.dic. But after installing babytrans it complains about not finding Engtoeng.dic, so I have to make a symlink to english.dic to see the babytrans window in the screen. If I dont do this, babytrans displays an error message and then it quits.
This is wrong and probably is the cause of your problem. You have to install one of the babytrans en2<lang> dictionaries. Due to some license problems/restrictions that I'm still trying to solve, these files have to be manually fetched from ftp://ftp.ac-grenoble.fr/ge/languages/babylon_dict/. Btw, if you're looking for a Eng to Spanish dictionary, you may try this file: ftp://ftp.ac-grenoble.fr/ge/languages/babylon_dict/EngtoSpa.dic.gz Also, give me a feedback if this solves your problem, so I can close the bug.
Well Carlos .. As you didn't gave me an answer I guess we found the root of your problem. If you're still having problems with babytrans feel free to open (or reopen, if it's the same) a new bug about it. Obs.: closing it as INVALID, as it seems to not be a babytrans problem.
