Subject: Re: Testing WinLyX1.4.0 with some patches applied


I noticed that the interface and the menus in WinLyX 1.4.1svn are in
English in spite of the choice of French during the process of
installation? Moreover, I added a new envirenement variable in Windows
with LANG = fr_FR but I always have the English interface. An idea or a
solution!

Hello Radwan,

I am glad you have joined the testing team which will lead to
improved releases for the host of potential WinLyX users.

LyX has a tendency to work better in English, but I think
that is not intentional and support for Unicode is scheduled
for LyX1.5 or Lyx1.6 (one or the other is XML).

Both testers, referred to in the top of this post, have English
machines and are not likely to find bugs with foreign languages.

If I find a potential bug, first I search bugzilla which has this url:
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/ where one can peform a keyword search,
in this case I used "language" which returned nine results. One
can add comments to the report to supplement the information.

LyX1.4.0 was very recently released. It was frozen with about
70 fixes available but not applied. They should all be applied by
the final release of 1.4.1. WinLyX 1.4.1svn; the executable you
installed is a "pre" which means it has had some of those patches
applied which improves its stability in comparison to 1.4.0

Since 1.4.0 is new, one won't find much discussion of how to fix
problems which have just been introduced with 1.4.0 on the User
mailing list. It is not easy to know how to sort those out. So after
checking bugzilla I search the archives of the Developer mailing
list but it is a while before their workarounds filter over to the User
list. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel sometimes this archive
is down, so I use http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
http://www.lyx.org/internet/mailing.php has a link to the LyX Wiki
which is also searchable. I usually search those first before I report a
bug on the developer list. Georg on the developer list has a good grasp
on all the reported bugs. I 've seen your problem reported before but
can't remember the details. If it is new, he or someone will direct you
to file a bug report. LyX->Tools->Preferences->Language settings->
Language, has a default setting for Language: Is yours set to French?

LyX137 is very stable and has received a lot of polish. The developers
have made Aspell compatible for both LyX137 and LyX14x and the
default installation of LyX14x creates a separate installation folder up
in .../Application data Lyx1.4.x, so that preferences are not confused
or overwritten. I think it is prudent to preserve the LyX137 version as
some functions may not have survived the major transition to LyX140.

Though this is useful information, I will look around for something more
specific to a solution for you, and maybe somebody directly involved
with your problem will correct it. Juergen is strong in this area.

Regards,
Stephen
