[Bf-committers] [Soc-2011-dev] Final Report - Garlic Branch

[xiangquan xiao]

Actually I don't know much about Windows's locale setting. So the wiki is
really too short.

On linux, I tested that only when locale is set, and sometimes even set LANG
and LANGUAGE,
the GNU gettext will work.
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#integrating_howto

In my test, it just changes locale temporarily and locally for itself.
