[sword-devel] Localisation

[Troy A. Griffitts]

jps,
	So did you write a new de_DE.conf locale for the api?  If so, is it
properly installed in the locales.d directory?  If you think so, try
your locale with the sword/tests/parsekey utility and see if it works,
like this:

./parsekey "jas1:19" de_DE


Hope this helps.

	-Troy.
