wxPython i18n question

Is it possible to tell the wxPython widgets (e.g. file dialogs)
to use another language (instead of English)?

Thanks in advance for any hints!

That should certainly be possible. In standard wxPython builds, you
are restricted to characters of the "host" encoding (I'm not sure what
that encoding is). There are separate "Unicode" builds of wxPython,
where you can use Unicode strings throughout.

Yes, look at article on i18n at wxPython Wiki.

You mean to use GNU gettext? I thought, this will only provide
i18n for the parts of the application which I wrote myself (e.g.
buttons, menus), but *not* for predefined wxPython widgets like
file dialogs etc. !?

You should not only set usual locale by locale.setlocale() call, but
also use wxLocale. Check wxWindows documentation on wxLocale.
