gettext libintl doesn't work correctly

[nrbrook]

In a C App, after calling setlocale and bindtextdomain, dgettext doesn't return a string from the specified locale message catalogue. Instead, libintl uses the locale defined in the LANG environment variable. The only way to change the locale is by changing LANG: putenv((char *)"LANG=be_BY");. See the example project and the stack overflow question. I'm not sure where this problem lies – libintl? The homebrew formulae?

Did you try contacting the gettext project to verify this is actually a packaging error and not just an upstream bug? Because we don't provide code support so you'll have to come up with a test that would make this fail in the homebrew test block.

I’ll try that. Thanks
