Comment # 1 on bug 1158843 from Stefan Hundhammer

Peter: Example how to do this:


https://github.com/shundhammer/yast-storage-ng/blob/master/src/lib/y2partitioner/clients/main.rb


You need to execute

  require "yast/i18n"


  textdomain "mytextdomain"

before you call the translation functions  _("myusertext") etc.; the normal and
recommended way to do this is in the class constructor (the initialize()
function).

We need that in every file that uses translations: Both to initialize the
translation mechanism, i.e. to load the correct .mo translation file, and also
for the translation extraction tools (the xgettext command) so they know what
.pot file to write the translations to.
