Your patch seems to have #!/usr/bin/ env python when it should have #!/usr/bin/env python (note that there's no space between slash and "env").
About "encoding". I'm not sure why your patch adds that to every file. It's only needed if your literal source code contains UTF-8 encoded characters. The fact, that your program deals with UTF-8 strings does not require UTF-8 encoding for the source code. See http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details. Note that modules and libraries do not require shebang - only files that have executable bit set and are intented for direct execution require the shebang. About the incorrect localization strings: it seems that the problem is in the openshot/language/Language_Init.py at code # Setup foreign language support langs = [] lc, encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale() ... self.lang = gettext.translation("OpenShot", self.project.LOCALE_DIR, languages = langs, fallback = True) The getdefaultlocale() gives lc="fi_FI" and encoding="UTF8" with my locale settings. However, $ locale LANG=en_DK.utf8 LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_NAME=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_DK.utf8" LC_ALL= and gettext should get en_DK as specified by LC_MESSAGES. In the end, gettext should not be initialized with the results from getdefaultlocale(). I'm not sure if this is because getdefaultlocale() is broken or because getdefaultlocale() is not mean for localization strings and the returned locale string is designed for something else but message localization. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650910 Title: Localization does not respect LC_MESSAGES Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: Openshot Video Editor incorrectly uses Finnish user interface localization in following environment: LC_ADDRESS=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_NAME=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=fi_FI.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 As far as I know, LC_MESSAGES should specify user interface text language. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
