Hi, just wanted to send a short note of appreciation for your library (http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/docs/). From glancing at the documentation there will finally be a good localization lib in boost. (Where I think it is sorely needed, since localization should be a standard feature IMHO) I have used QT's localization features before, and really liked them. This was something I really missed since I am working with std strings, but it seems that your locale lib is au-par with what Qt has to offer. Maybe one could even make it compatible with QT .ts/.qm files one day, so that one could use the fine QtLinguist Tools. (I have never used the gettext tools) Regards, and keep up the good work Fabio Fracassi P.S. Sorry that I messed up threading, but I didn't find the original message.
