[Gambas-user] Linux Mint - Project Localization

[David Sanromá]

Hello everyone,


I am practicing some stuff in Gambas and I cannot make localization 
work. It does nothing. A line like:


GridView1.Columns[DEVICE_COL].Text = ("Device")


Does not translate at all... and of course I added a translation for it 
in the "Project translation" dialog. ;)


I read the documentation and I searched the mailing list and I cannot 
see what I am doing wrong.

I am running Mint 18.3 and I fully installed both English(US) and the 
Spanish languages, on top of following the translation instructions, of 
course.

I even checked if the translation get copied to temp and it does

$ tree /tmp/gambas.1000/
/tmp/gambas.1000/
└── 2906
     └── tr
         └── es_ES.UTF-8
             └── LC_MESSAGES
                 └── gb.mo


TIA,

David
