wxLocale Errors

[The Devils Jester]

My system is not set up to use German as checked with "locale -a" but I have a complete translation file for my application in German, and I can load it just fine (and my app is translated), however I get a warning popup every time saying that the locale could not be set.  Other than installing support for German (which shouldnt be needed as my app is fully translated) is there a way to get rid of (or hide) this error message?  This is on Linux.

It is needed as locale affects other things, such as date and time or
monetary formats, that are not taken care of by translations.

You can use wxTranslations::AddCatalog() in 2.9 if you only want to add a
catalog and not change the locale.

I encountered a similar message using locales that aren't support by the OS X c-runtime and use something like the following to supress them

bool openLocale(int language)
{
    {
        wxLogNull    nolog;
        wxLocale locale = new wxLocale(language, 0);
    }
    ...
}

That is not the behavior I want VZ.  I want them to load correctly when they are available on the platform, but if they are not, then it should silently fail, or at worst, output a warning to the console, not a nasty popup.

Does adding a "wxLogNull    nolog;" to the function prevent wxWidgets from showing their error message?

Yes. It's explained in the logging overview in the documentation - it will suppress output from wxLogXXX() functions.

That works perfectly thanks.  BTW is there any way to get the language name (without setting it as the active language), if all I have is the two letter code?  (I just need the human readable name, like "German" and I have "de").
