Yes, but I'm not able to do it correct, because application is opened only
partly. When Printers application is generated to
gererated/objects/.../preferences/print directory, I have linked lib
directory with the present generated libraries to a subdirectory for the
print directory.
Then I call ./Printers in command line window and Printers open in deskbar
below Tracker and Terminal, but without open window (submenu shows only
"no window" and "quit application" options).
Problem is, that I have not succeeded to open any other localized
application (except src/bin/filepanel) from the version control tree. I
do not know, how I should do it.

Then about this "Preview" issue: when I open preferences/print from
deskbar, I still will see "Preview" (two times) there. From the source
code I can find only those "Preview" texts and they should be localized, I
think. If some attribute value (?) is shown there in the view window, then
it should be localized, or some other solution should be used there. When
comparing strings B_TRANSLATE macro should return the same localized
string that is in attribute and the code should then work. That is my
logic, but it is obviously wrong?

OK, I will check that. Thanks.
