Hi all,
I can confirm that the bug is still present in the 0.2.8-6 package on
Debian Stretch.
The way I encountered it is that I (manually by compilation since
there
is no package in Debian for it) installed cinelerra (both CV and GG
version), then when launching it, its GUI is in English. Then, I've
removed the blop package (with synaptic) and relaunched cinelerra and
now, the GUI is displayed in French (my locale).
I've seen that there is a patch attached, but it seems from the
comment
above that it's not safe to apply it so I didn't try.
What would you people would recommend to move forward from here?
It could be great to have this one fixed for the next buster release.
Cheers,
Olivier
PS : note that this bug is affecting mhWaveEdit as well.
Steps to reproduce with mhWaveEdit:
1) open mhwaveedit with a French locale
2) go to Fichier -> Ouvrir... (file -> open...) and open an audio file
3) cut (ctrl-x) a part of it
4) go to Fichier -> Quitter (file -> quit)
the pop up window asking if you want to save the changes is in French.
All good.
Then (with the blop package installed):
5) open mhwaveedit with a French locale
6) go to Fichier -> Ouvrir... (file -> open...) and open an audio file
7) got to Effets -> boite à effets...
see that a part of this new window is in English
8) push the "Fermer" button ("close")
9) cut (ctrl-x) a part of the audio file
10) go to Fichier -> Quitter (file -> quit)
the pop up window asking if you want to save the changes is now in
English. Something is wrong here.
Then, uninstall the blop package:
11) open mhwaveedit with a French locale
12) go to Fichier -> Ouvrir... (file -> open...) and open an audio
file
13) got to Effets -> boite à effets...
see that a the window is now fully in French
8) push the "Fermer" button ("close")
9) cut (ctrl-x) a part of the audio file
10) go to Fichier -> Quitter (file -> quit)
now, the pop up window asking if you want to save the changes is in
French. All good.
PS-2: copying debian multimedia maintainer to this report
Wouldn't the most clean approach be to configure the package with
'--disable-nls' and be done with it?

Hi Fabian,
it might work, but it would means then loosed the translations.
There is currently a german translation included in the sources.
Since I wrote this earlier email today, a friend of mine, who is
programmer, undertook to write a proper patch for blop. We'll add it to
this report when done.
