I'm more or less ready to release my script for GHC program, I have localized the script  with gettext and made translations into Spanish and English. The problem I found is that normally when I i18n a script a use `TEXTDOMAINDIR=./` however when running the script through POL (Tools/Run script) it don't get localized because the script don't run in the same folder it is.

Other scripts I have saw don't have `. gettext.sh` at all!

I think that wiki page (http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/Scripting_-_Chapter_10:_Script_Translation) need more information for begginers.

So my question is, how I configure TEXTDOMAINDIR? Is it necessary to configure it or to add `. gettext.sh`?

This is the start of my script:

I personally haven't ever used that, but I'm not familier with gettext. I just followed what's on the wiki.
