Declaration 

gchar*
g_key_file_get_locale_string (
  GKeyFile* key_file,
  const gchar* group_name,
  const gchar* key,
  const gchar* locale,
  GError** error
)

Description

Returns the value associated with key under group_name translated in the given locale if available. If locale is NULL then the current locale is assumed.

If locale is to be non-NULL, or if the current locale will change over the lifetime of the GKeyFile, it must be loaded with G_KEY_FILE_KEEP_TRANSLATIONS in order to load strings for all locales.

If key cannot be found then NULL is returned and error is set to G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_KEY_NOT_FOUND. If the value associated with key cannot be interpreted or no suitable translation can be found then the untranslated value is returned.
