Could you make currency's names are shown in local language?

[Phil Longstaff]

Yesterday's 2.3.12 release was meant to be string freeze.  If your change is judged to be really important, I guess it would need to be done and then 2.3.13 released with this change and *it* would be the string freeze release.

Unfortunately no. There hasn't been any work in that direction so far since the comments in the bugzilla entry.

The strings would need to be marked so that they get included into the gnucash.pot translation template. In iso-4217-currencies.scm you need to enclose the first string by the (N_ ... ) scheme function, such as (N_ "US Dollar"). Then run "make pot", which should make those strings appear in the gnucash.pot translation template. Then translate them in your po file (de.po or similar). Then run "make install" in the po/ directory. After that, the translation should be there.

In particular, the call to the translation function itself is already included in the program (in the C code generated by iso-currencies-to-c, where it says "_(fullname)" ), but currently it doesn't get any translation because the strings are not included in the gnucash.pot in the first place.

Regards,

Christian
