[Gimp-developer] wget plugin

[Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre prokoudine gmail com>]

Hi,

I've been wondering for a while why the plug-in for fetching an image
from network location always shows its messages in English, so I ended
up looking into the code...

plug-ins/file-uri/uri-backend-wget.c has this:

      g_setenv ("LANGUAGE", "C", TRUE);
      g_setenv ("LC_ALL", "C", TRUE);
      g_setenv ("LANG", "C", TRUE);

And then translatable messages follow.

So the plug-in doesn't even give those messages a chance to show up as
translated, while providing false hope :)

Is there a reason for such a cruelty? :)
