Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2008-12-16 17:13:02 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When I start KTurtle for the first, it defaults to English for the KTurtle commands, even though the user has a different language set as the user’s language.

This is very confusing and non user-friendly.

(Note that the UI of KTurtle *is* correctly translated into the user’s chosen language, so this is not a translation bug. I am the Norwegian Nynorsk translator of KTurtle.)

I observe this bug with latest trunk version of KTurtle.

Comment 1 Cies Breijs 2008-12-18 09:08:22 UTC

thanks for the report.. what version of kde are you using? also trunk?

this issue, or a similar issue, is around for a while.. i would like to tackle it but it seems that it might be related to the translation system of kde.

could you run kturtle 'for the first time' (= without config file in ~/.kde), from the konsole and change the language and post a listing of what kturtle throws to the stdout (i mean the output on the konsole)?

thanks for reporting..

_cies.

Comment 2 Karl Ove Hufthammer 2008-12-18 14:00:57 UTC

The output is:

kturtle(20233) MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage: MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage:  "nn"

Comment 3 Karl Ove Hufthammer 2008-12-18 14:02:32 UTC

And yes, I’m using trunk.

Comment 4 Burkhard Lück 2009-11-11 11:01:33 UTC

trunk (2009/10/29) compiled from sources with language x-test selected in systemsettings and without file .kde/share/config/kturtlerc:

konsole output on first start:
kturtle(23470) MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage: MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage:  "en_US"

when I switch then to script language x-test in KTurtle then I see:
kturtle(23470) MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage: MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage:  "x-test"

The same happens with branch 4.3 build today and compiled from sources with language de selected in systemsettings and without file .kde/share/config/kturtlerc:
konsole output on first start:
kturtle(24170) MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage: MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage:  "en_US"
when I switch then to script de in KTurtle then I see:
kturtle(23470) MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage: MainWindow::setCurrentLanguage:  "de"
