gettext support is broken

[duck]

I got the following message:

W, [2010/06/28 20:26:32#24648]  WARN -- load-gettext.rb:71:in `rbot_gettext_debug': gettext failed to set call textdomain info. maybe an mo file doesn't exist for your locale.

I checked rbot_locale_path:

/usr/share/rbot/../locale/%{locale}/LC_MESSAGES/%{name}.mo

which is the right directory.

With Ruby GetText? 1.91.0, i got this trace:

load-gettext.rb:69:in `rbot_gettext_debug': undefined method `filename' for nil:NilClass

and with 2.1.0:

rbot is supposed to work with version >=1.8, so it is a regression made between the 0.9.15 release cycle (0.9.14 was working with 1.91.0 but not the recent 2.1.0). I think targeting the 2.x versions is now a must (even if you now raise the minimum version).

rbot still works with 1.91.0 (I have such a configuration running). The problem actually lies elsewhere. You can check it by setting the language to something different (e.g. !config set core.language italian). The issue actually comes from the fact that the english messages are stored for the en_US locale, but are looked for in the en locale. Since the messages in the bot are actually mostly in British english due to its origin, I will fix this by moving the po/en_US to po/en.

Ok, it works again with 1.91.0, thanks.
