>I'm living in Finland and my mother tongue is Finnish. However, I prefer English for the UI to better match UI of all the programs I use (some programs do not have Finnish localizations or the localizations are not high quality enough for my taste). Okay so i understand better the result of your locale.
>The problem I'm reporting is that with my locale settings, OpenShot is using Finnish translations for some of it's strings despite the fact that I'm requesting English messages (see LC_MESSAGES environment variable). I guess it's incorrectly using one of the following environment variables to set the localization language for messages: LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT. None of these should change the UI language. Have you try to change your default setting (just to see) for your locale and see if all is translate in Openshot ? It will be helpful to know if it is a " general" bug or a "particular" bug link to you locale preferences. I am agree with you about the method getprefereencoding should be better for your case that the method getdefaultlocale. It will change automaticaly the locale in the locale by default i.e. English. More explanation here : http://docs.python.org/library/gettext.html http://docs.python.org/library/locale.html Have you try to modified the lc, encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale() by lc, encoding = locale.getpreferredencoding() Just another thought. -- 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
