Though this might seem like a crossposting, it ain't one IMHO since only a few developers will read/understand the German thread. And only because I know a workaround, this still is a bug. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's

Or it could be fixed in the slimserver software... Indeed there's not much sense in having a language setup and then ignoring it for some parts of the software... -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile:

The format of the date can be completely defined in the slimserver setup as can the language of the web interface and all strings displayed in the SB display. So why the heck does the software need to read the locales at all? And especially since they're not defined at all if you start slimserver

Or it could be fixed in the slimserver software... It can't. I can cite one more time :-) LANG and LANGUAGE are not being set by the boot scripts. The startup script can not know the language settings when it's run at boot time. -- Michael

Sorry, but for me this clearly is a bug. A bug is where the software was designed to do one thing, but due to a defect doesn't do it. Slimserver was never designed to do anything other than read the locale from the OS (as indeed all good apps should do) thus, the fact that it does that is not

Ok, maybe I'm missing something here. I really wonder: 1) What - apart from the date/time screensaver's language settings - is influenced at all by the OS locales regarding SB/Slimserver? 2) If reading the locales is the way for slimserver to configure its language, why are there language
