    Hi, Tobias Diedrich!

Sometime (on Tuesday, February 18 at 16:32) I've received something...

Ok. ;)

See the configure script: --language used there for select which help_mp*
file has to be statically linked into mplayer/mencoder. It cannot be more
than one (so "en de fr hu it pl ru zh" give you an error) so it unusable
for that. It cannot be helped until you get rid of these static files. If
you implement gettext support into mplayer/mencoder then you can do with
--language as well as with $LINGUAS. Only then you can use LC_MESSAGES,
it's unused now.

Resume:
1) implement gettext support;
2) select languages: from LINGUAS if defined, from --language else;
3) be happy. ;)

Nothing more. :)

    With best wishes.
