For gtk/gimp specific case, yes. Win32 users may not
see utf8 encoded
translation at all. But if I recall correctly, no more then a few gtk
applications have been natively ported to win32? I haven't tried gimp
win32 port, so can't comment much. But can win32 gimp handle translation
files at all ? If yes, what version of glibc is it linked against ?
gimp/win32 did not depend on glibc
( it depend on gdk/win32 )
M$ MSVCRT.DLL support wide character natively
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/devprods/vs6/visualc/vccore/_crt_locale.h…
and iconv & gettext had been ported onto the win32
Of course, if
all of the AP had been gettextized and all of the
widget had been internationalized(?), we can forget the concept of
encoding. However, the world is not perfect :-)
Have many of perl programs been i18n'ed ?
sorry, no idea :-)
