Re: [gentoo-user] Re: language
I propose an experiment. For example, if gedit is displaying the wrong language, then type this at a command prompt (in xterm or gterm, etc): $LC_ALL='fr' gedit Thank you Walt, but it doesn't work. Here is the message: (process:5573): Gtk-WARNING**: locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Roger

What's the output of locale -a, and of locale ? Btw, did you need to install/modify anything to get the projector working ? -- Nico.
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: language [solved]
Try $LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 gedit I did it, but it opens gedit in english. The idea came to search where the config file of gedit is on my desktop computer. I made a locate gedit and I found within other files /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gedit.mo I saw that gedit.mo is a binary file. With an usb key I put it in /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES of my laptop where it wasn't. And it worked :-) I made a second try with xfdesktop.mo, and it succeeded also. Now I have to do the same thing for the other packages. I'm surprised that the video projector could change the language in many files. Thanks for your help Roger

An other method given by a friend, and more easier: compile again a package in english, and it will become in french. I tried with gimp and it worked. I don't indeed understand what happened! Roger

However, this made my language change from french to english in many of my packages. Right click on desktop and the showed window is in english; the same with a click on the icons on it. (their name is also in english) The menu bars are sometimes in french (thunar,firefox, thunderbird, OOo, skype) sometimes not (gimp, vlc, gedit, etc.) Hi Roger, Just to clarify, are you saying the language problem was caused by using the video projector, or by running the OO file on your laptop, or ...? Are you saying that the language problems are permanent, or just during your presentation?

Hi Roger, Hi Walt, Thank you for your answer. Just to clarify, are you saying the language problem was caused by using the video projector, or by running the OO file on your laptop, or ...? By using the video projector. It was the first time I used this one. I never had this problem with another one. Are you saying that the language problems are permanent, or just during your presentation? They are permanent :-( Roger
