Hi,

I think we got an interesting fact here:
On my PowerPC MacMini, it works, too, like on your PowerPC Mac.
So the issue might be platform dependent.

The output of locale is as expected, all variables set to de_DE.UTF-8. locale -a outputs the expected list of supported locales, which include de_DE.UTF-8.

I had a look at /usr/share/locale, but I can't see anything wrong here. The LC_COLLATE file is binary, so I have no clue what it means. But I diffed it against the same file on my PowerPC MacMini, and they are identical.

Can anyone else with a Intel Mac confirm this behaviour?
Just execute
        export LANG=en_US
        export LC_ALL=en_US
# start any GTK application, open a file chooser dialog, and check if the sorting is correct (maybe try it with different directories).

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks
Rolf

Hi,

@Yves
I've never seen the Gtk-Warning below, though I am using "de_DE.UTF-8". My open file dialog of Gnucash also shows everything in alphabetical order. Something else must be wrong.

@Rolf, as you are using an Intel-Mac and I am sitting on a PowerPC: What's in your /usr/share/locale/ ? That seems to be the place where GTK-apps get their localization stuff (I was able to fix Gnucash's missing EURO-Sign (€) by editing /usr/share/locale/ de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MONETARY. ) . What happens if you type "locale" and "locale -a" in a terminal?

@all If GTK-apps read their language specific settings from usr/ share/locale, what is /opt/local/share/locale used for ????

Best Regards, Peter

Hi

first of all, any gtk app will kindly tell you that :

Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
         Using the fallback C locale.

And the only way of dealing with many problems is indeed to avoid
localisation.

But I do use LANG=fr and nothing else (no _CA, no LC_ALL) and many
things do work quite fine, including gimp.
