In the current implemetation, I have no workaround to do this but this configuration is needed by users. Would you help this?

The menu items need to be installed because the users need to use menus.

Why can't I have both? You can show both to edit the .desktop files but the menu has the default settings which are required by the users. > > And if I can have both, why not simply show them for all locales? The situation is, whether the configuraters like it or not, the settings are needed under a contract and the application is expected to use on a locale. A service can provide the simple settings to show them for all locales. > > Also think of the "principle of least surprise".

The first recommendation is to change the locale and if the change is not good under a condition, the system configuraters will provide the options. As the design, adding language in the .desktop can show the menu item. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
