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

[xiangquan xiao]

I did the same change to bf_lang.c, too. But as you said, still couldn't
work.

Then according to
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#windows_setenv
 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#windows_setenv>I wrote a bat:
set LANG=zh_CN
blender.exe

It works! I have committed some related fix. You can have a try.
The _envset("LANG","zh_CN") call seems successful, but I still need to set
it before
running Blender. That's very strange. I also tested call system("set
LANG=zh_CN"), failed again.

After all, we can make Garlic work on windows now. If you or jesterKing have
some time, pls
make a windows build for me. I'd like to share it with BlenderCN eagerly. I
have got errors on
"make PACKAGE" all the time. (:
