Description Yuri 2019-07-22 18:06:25 UTC 
SUMMARY

Apps using sonnet print messages like this:
> Warning: No language dictionaries for the language: "C"

It isn't clear from the message what component printed it, what part of locale is wrong, etc.

Please clarify the message: mention kde/sonnet, and say that "C" is a particular part of locale, and what part it is.

Reference: https://github.com/qTox/qTox/issues/5741

Additionally, please don't print the warning a thousand times. Once per failed locale type should be sufficient, because user can't normally change environment variable on the fly. Apps actually can change their own environment, so you should probably recheck when it changes, and warn once for each failed locale type.
Comment 1 Herrold 2020-03-20 15:37:32 UTC 
I see this as well

Mar 20 11:22:26 centos-8 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[3130]: sonnet.core: No language dictionaries for the language: "C"
Mar 20 11:22:26 centos-8 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[3130]: sonnet.core: No language dictionaries for the language: "C"
Mar 20 11:22:26 centos-8 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[3130]: sonnet.core: No language dictionaries for the language: "C"

There are two requests here, it seems:

1. a more descriptive error message to permit running down what is needed

2. suppression of repeated messaging of the same message 


from bug:
https://github.com/qTox/qTox/issues/5741

my values are:

[herrold@centos-8 pw]$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C
[herrold@centos-8 pw]$ locale | grep "LC_CTYPE"
LC_CTYPE="C"
[herrold@centos-8 pw]$ locale | grep "LANG"
LANG=en_US
[herrold@centos-8 pw]$ env | grep '\<C\>'
LC_ALL=C
[herrold@centos-8 pw]$

Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'.

Try to load en_US for LANG=C

Don't warn about that, just debug.
