Hi Michael, Trying to understand the nature of the problem. Even if it
doesn't sound like a translation matter, it would be good if you could
clarify a few things.
Well, l10n goes a bit further to my mind than just translation but sure,
I'll clarify :)
What is force-locale?
The bit that looks at your system locale settings and forces other
applications which are not part of the system to display the UI in that
locale. On Ubuntu, that would be the settings under Language Support
forcing non-Ubuntu stuff like Firefox or GIMP to come up in the
specified language. In other words, the bit that removes control over
the UI language from the user, by and large.
Which LibreOffice bug?
This one:
Ubuntu essentially ships the same l10n as debian does:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git;a=blob;f=rules;h=75ccdc460060b46130c47d1fe8439a3eb02e64bc;hb=be19aeb50a1186ed24b01537453a3beb0d917f1d#l795
Usually both of us consider shipping a locale when it is reasonably complete.
As gd seems reasonably complete:
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/gd/
we might add it to the shipped locales.
Yes, Language Support is the tool in Ubuntu to make sure that all
language support packages for the languages you selected to install are
available. That's not handled via package dependencies. The Software
Updater is involved for upgrading already installed language support
packages, but not to identify missing ditto.
Bit of a gap I'd say, no? But see below.
It probably means that you at some point changed the language in
LibreOffice to something else but "Default", i.e. the current locale.
Otherwise also LibreOffice would have automatically been displayed in
the language you set in Language Support.
I didn't - it's a bit of a moot point over what happened. My
recollection is that LO *was* in Gaelic and then suddenly wasn't anymore
but Björn maintains it was never part of the ppa until they added it to
Debian earlier this year. It's possible that I manually pulled some
language packs for Gaelic at some point.
Which constant reverting of programs to English? Are you saying that
language support packages are silently uninstalled often?
Yes, frequently. It was too quick to screenshot but I *saw* the
uninstaller uninstalling the gd langpacks for Firefox and it's not the
first time it has done this, over the last 3 years it has happened to me
at least 3 times and GunChleoc, the other Gaelic localizer, has also had
this problem (she actually filed a bug I just heard
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1395273). It may
do it to other packages too but Firefox is usually the first one I
notice it with.
