Re: gettext

[bob cs csoft net]

that wouldnt work. since the objects are corba, it would be dificult to
make sure they were on the client. It would also take alot more cpu time
to do. since the string that the object returns might be a variable
message, you would have to somehow parse it out on the client and then run
each part through gettext.
