I would like inform everyone that I've just committed
large patch to xmaxima/omplotdata which implements
localization of these two programs by means of
standard tcl/tk msgcat (message catalog) mechanism.
Localized messages are kept in the msgs directory
within file <lang>.msg. Appropriate file is loaded
automatically depending on user's locale.
There is two Maxima message catalogs
/plotting/msgs
for omplotdata and
/interfaces/xmaxima/msgs
for xmaxima.
At present only Russian translation by
S. Semerikov is provided:
/plotting/msgs/ru.msg
/interfaces/xmaxima/msgs/ru.msg
Adding translation to other languages is
very simple - just write similar two <lang>.msg
files. No change to actual xmaxima code is
required.
