How can I run the program with the language different from s

Post by kovtunos »

Or may be the new option like a drop-down list in preferences need?

I'm using en.US locale for LC_MESSAGES but sometimes I need to look up my russian translation.
Running as LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 guayadeque doesn't solves the problem also.

What I do is run from console LANG=ru_RU guayadeque

This is something I want to make configurable also.

Thanks for your help

LANG=ru_RU guayadeque shows english interface. But it really would be nice to make it easy configurable.

$ LANG=ru_RU guayadeque
15:12:00: Initialized locale ( en_US )
15:12:00: Mount Added...
...

$ locate guayadeque.mo | grep ru
/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/guayadeque.mo

System of course has ru_RU support.

Now I have tried to apply this method to other applications and it also doesn't work...
Apparently it is the system locale problem because it had worked previously.

Just commited to svn the changes to allow to select language from Preferences -> General

Its in svn revision 1674

Thanks for your help

Of course your system must have support for this language for it to work.
