Registers a textdomain for localisation.
</p>
<p>
This procedure adds a textdomain to the list of domains Gimp
searches for strings when translating its menu entries. There is no
need to call this function for plug-ins that have their strings
included in the gimp-std-plugins domain as that is used by default.
If the compiled message catalog is not in the standard location, you
may specify an absolute path to another location. This procedure can
only be called in the query function of a plug-in and it has to be
called before any procedure is installed.</p>

Sets an error handler for procedure calls.

This procedure changes the way that errors in procedure calls are
handled. By default GIMP will raise an error dialog if a procedure
call made by a plug-in fails. Using this procedure the plug-in can
change this behavior. If the error handler is set to
<code class="literal">GIMP_PDB_ERROR_HANDLER_PLUGIN</code>, then the plug-in is responsible for
calling <a class="link" href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-get-pdb-error" title="gimp_get_pdb_error ()"><code class="function">gimp_get_pdb_error()</code></a> and handling the error whenever one if
its procedure calls fails. It can do this by displaying the error
