Hi Vladimir,

One quick question:

Does the line

res_val = _(sub_res->v[j].value);

contain a translatable value during compile-time ?

Kind regards,

Bert Timmeman.

No, if I understand it correctly, and simplifying a bit, the _()
command is just an alias for the gettext() function (see, e.g.
global.h in the pcb repository) which takes initial English
strings and searches for their counterparts for current locale in
an appropriate *.gmo file compiled from one of the *.po files. The
strings for translation are extracted beforehand by xgettext
program into a *.pot file which will be the template for all the
*.po files.

The basic info on this you may find in 'info gettext', sections 1.4
and 1.5.
