Why did you say "strine"? By ``a catalog'' I meant the gdb.pot file, which is in English, not in any specific language (yes, I know what "strine" is). Anyway, it's not enough to have a catalog, nor a translation for a specific language. We need to register the "gdb" domain with the Translation Project and then submit gdb.pot to the TP robot, so that translators could work on producing the XX.po files. We should also wait for a while after gdb.pot becomes available from the TP web pages, to give translators time to translate, and finally we should download the XX.po files and include them with the release tarball. Then, and only then, we could say in good faith that GDB supports i18n. In case you didn't know, the details of this are spelled out here: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/maintainers.html
