Should the first VERIFY have failed if I don't have the okular catalog?

  VERIFY( cat_okular >= 0 );

a.out: ./4-2.cc:59: void test01(): Assertion `s01 == "secondes" || s02
== "Serveur de Son PulseAudio"' failed.

I changed it to print out the locale it opens and the translated strings:

  const char ln[] = "de_CH";
  std::cout << ln << std::endl;
  locale loc_fr = locale(ln);
...
  string s01 = mssg_fr.get(cat_okular, 0, 0, "seconds");
  string s02 = mssg_fr.get(cat_pulseaudio, 0, 0, "PulseAudio Sound Server");

  std::cout << s01 << std::endl;
  std::cout << s02 << std::endl;

and nothing is being translated:

fr_FR
seconds
PulseAudio Sound Server
a.out: ./4-2.cc:66: void test01(): Assertion `s01 == "secondes" || s02
== "Serveur de Son PulseAudio"' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

I have pulseaudio.mo in fr/LC_MESSAGES not fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES, so in
case that matters I changed it to use the de_CH locale, as I have
de_CH/LC_MESSAGES/pulseaudio.mo, but I get the same result:

de_CH
seconds
PulseAudio Sound Server
a.out: ./4-2.cc:66: void test01(): Assertion `s01 == "secondes" || s02
== "Serveur de Son PulseAudio"' failed.
