Hi,

I've been experimenting with the the gettext message prioritisation 
feature but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with KDE apps which 
seems strange. Here is what I do:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libintl.so
export GETTEXT_LOG_UNTRANSLATED=/home/dwayne/gettext.log

If I run any command line tool eg gettext --help I get messages logged.  
I get quite a few untranslated gtk message etc.

However if I run a KDE app I get nothing logged.  I've tried changing 
locale from the control center and setting LANG variables at the command 
line - nothing.

This is a very valuable feature as it allows us to direct our efforts at 
programs and messages that the user sees.  I'm sure other people would 
find it useful if the output log was used together with KBabel to direct 
translations to the most valuable messages.

most people, and thus the country as a whole, to a permanent state of
mediocrity, since people are unable to be spontaneous, creative and
self-confident if they cannot use their first language"
