Title:
  gettext works only if the bash script is started with ./ command

Status in gettext package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gettext

  I have some bash scripts localized using gettext. In the header of
  each file I have

  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  export TEXTDOMAINDIR=$HOME/.tv-recorder/translations
  export TEXTDOMAIN=$0

  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  the gettext command I use is (i.e.)

  Erro="zenity --error --title "$TITOLO" --text=""'"$(gettext "Conf file missed. Aborting!")"'"
  eval $Erro

  That is working when I start the script form a shell with the command   ./script.sh
  But if I start the script from the menu, or with a double click in Nautilus window, or from a shell with the absolute address /home/luca/.folder/script.sh , gettext doesn't translate nothing.
  The only way to start the script with proper localization is to use a meta script in the menu that cds to the folder and start the script with the ./script.sh command.
