multilanguage application - step by step

[Peter Irbizon]

Hello,

thank you for reply.
I tried this:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import gettext
gettext.bindtextdomain('multilanguage',
'E:\folder')
gettext.textdomain('multilanguage')
_ = gettext.gettext
# ...
lang1 = gettext.translation('multilanguage', languages=['sk'])
lang1.install()
print _('This is a translatable string.')

but ErrNo 2 no translation file found for domain: 'multilanguage'
I am doing something wrong way. I would like to switch languages in my
program 'on the fly' without affecting windows.

P.S. sorry for double posting but when I post my message on googlegroups I
can't see it in googlegroups (don't know why)
thanks
