The message "locale not supported by C library" refers to the "locale" mechanism, and not gettext. You need to fix something else here. Run the command "locale -a". This will show you the available "locales" that have been configured on your ARM system. I believe you do not have "hi_IN" in this list, hence the error message. Generating a locale is quite easy. If you have Ubuntu on your desktop, have a look at the script /usr/sbin/locale-gen. This script automatically creates the necessary locales for your system depending on which languages you added support through the graphical interface. If you read the script, you can find the exact commands. For reference, the source of the Hindi locale is at /usr/share/i18n/locales/hi_IN For something more digestable, see section 3.5 at http://www.linux.com/howtos/Unicode-HOWTO-3.shtml or http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_UTF-8_enabled_system Hope it helps, Simos Xenitellis http://simos.info/blog/ > > Regards > Rush > > On 4/12/07, Simos Xenitellis <simos lists googlemail com> wrote: > On Thu, 2007-04-12 at 08:11 +0530, rush ta wrote: > > hi... > > I have an app running with Hindi Locale using GTK-i18n ... > > Now i am cross compiling the application for another > platform (ARM > > architecture).. > > > > My assumption is that the .mo file will need to be cross > compiled for > > that platform too...
