gEDA-dev: internationalisation in libgeda (for MIME type install at the moment)

[Peter Clifton]

Hi,

I added internationalisation (via the intltoolize infrastructure) to
libgeda, in order to translate the mime registration XML file.

BUT..

This I think this gives an issue for Debian.

LC_ALL=C ../intltool-merge -x -u -c ../po/.intltool-merge-cache ../po geda.xml.in geda.xml

Then (assuming a translation), the .mo files will be installed as
"libgeda.mo" under the appropriate directory.

How will this work if Debian allows multiple .so versions installed
side-by-side? (I expect the translation files will clash).

Is there any president for this?

Can we ship the latest libgeda.mo in libgeda-common, and just accept the
fact that the translations will only work for the latest installed
version?

Should we try to prepend soversion to the name for translations?
