Package: libgtk2.0-doc
Version: 2.8.17-2
Severity: normal

in the faq:
/usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-doc/gtk/gtk-question-index.html
in secion 1.7, we have described inrenatiolization of gtk-based programs.

However the most important (IMHO) thing, about gtk-specyfic things is missing
here.

gtk uses unicode for all strings, and so we need to call:
bind_textdomain_codeset(PACKAGE, "UTF-8");

If you don't do this all non-ascii characters from *.mo files will produce
FATAL worning, and they will be wrongly displayed.

This should be mentioned here in this section.
