CentOS - Jan 2008 - gettext does not work after glibc update

Hi,

I recently upgraded my system to CentOS 4.6 and noticed that gettext
does not behave as before the update. As soon as I install the old glibc
version (glibc-2.3.4-2.36) instead of the new one (glibc-2.3.4-2.39) it
works again.

See the Attachment for details.

Any hints would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Christoph

What ISO language do you have set as default?

It appears to be translating to Danish or German.
