error reading .po file in java

问题:

i read a bit about reading from .po files and i still have some questions. Does anyone know if you can directly read from a .po file just like reading from a .properties file in java, or does it need to be transformed from .po to .properties?

I imported the class GettextResource and :

ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("stuff.po.I18n");
System.out.println(GettextResource.gettext(rb, "name_test"));

Where msgid "name_test" msgstr "test" (from .po file)

This does return only the string "name_test". I clearly have no clue what i am doing here... any thoughts will be much appreciated. thanks.

From http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/javadoc2/gnu/gettext/GettextResource.html

To compile GNU gettext message catalogs into Java ResourceBundle classes, the msgfmt program can be used.

Have you used this utility to convert your .po file to a resource bundle that can be read by getBundle?
