Hi Ulf, Ulf Betlehem: [...]

ok, I compiled 2.0c1 and tried gettext. Now, there seems to be a bug in the "normalize and expand" code that can prevent gettext from finding an existing .mo file. The normalization is done using a dictionary and therefore the languages get reordered (as dict keys do). Later when selecting language the function returns None if 'C' happens to come before the required languages. I've included a patch to fix this.

Your patch looks good to me. Thanks for taking the time to test and contributing the patch. I've submitted your bug report and your patch to sourceforge.
