[Qgis-developer] How to get a string's english translation with pyhton?

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

Hi,
Just to help those who might help Ricardo:
The plugin ProfileFromLine works only in English, not in other
languages.
The buggy python lines are around here:
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/profilefromline/repository/revisions/master/entry/ProfileFromLine.py#L254

if "out of extent" in strValue or "null" not in strValue:
     rasterValue = float(strValue)

The bug is described here:
