localize never works. When I tried it 4 years ago it did not work. Need to have an alternative - xgettext.
The localize.sh script works fine if you have compiled fpGUI with FPC 2.6.4. ie: it has *.rst files and not the FPC 3.0.x .rsj (json) files. I still can't believe FPC broke such backwards compatibility without even a deprecation period. I am working on implementing the newer json (.rsj) support into the updatepofiles and generateincfiles utilities.
