Thanks nags, this works perfectly!

Now I'm trying this in Czech (open gedit in Czech and close it by going
to File>Quit which is Soubor>Ukončit in Czech):

  launchapp('gedit', lang = 'cs_CZ.utf8')
  time.sleep (3)
  selectmenuitem ('*gedit', 'mnuSoubor;mnuUkončit') # File > Quit

This triggers the following error:

LookupError


As I have no idea how to fix (telling Python to interpret as UTF-8 or
so?) I instead tried accessing an menuitem via using an index:

  launchapp('gedit', lang = 'de_DE.utf8')
  time.sleep (3)
  selectmenuitem ('*gedit', 'mnu1;mnu1')

This probably only works for objects without labels, as I get this error?:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dummie.py", line 24, in <module>
    selectmenuitem ('*gedit', 'mnu1;mnu1')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 65, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1575, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 180, in request
    raise LdtpExecutionError(e.faultString.encode('utf-8'))
ldtp.client_exception.LdtpExecutionError: Unable to find object name "mnu1" in application map


My problem is likely similar to
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/ldtp-dev/2009-October/000923.html
- I would like to start the same application in several different human
languages by looping over some locales, and perform the same steps
everytime, and would like to use a language-independent way to access
objects (either via somehow defining that for object-related commands in
the script the en_US default shall be looked up while still showing the
user interface in a different language; or by using "generic" names for
objects, like indexes, that are language-independent).

Any ideas, or is this not doable currently?

My long-term aim is to have some script for localized screenshot
generation for e.g. release notes, by the way.

Thanks,
andre
