Works for me with the Linux version. Since you're using the Mac version I suppose this means that the necessary languages aren't embedded in the binary automatically.
Comment 2 RJVB 2021-08-04 19:59:30 UTC
They're probably embedded in the app bundle (not the binary ;) ) but it seems not unlikely that they runtime (the ki18n framework?) looks for them in a different place (at least that could be the issue if the framework uses QStandardPaths instead of Qt's own translation files mechanism).
Comment 3 Rob 2022-01-23 04:21:19 UTC
Sorry about this issue.  This kept happening over and over because I had to remember each time I built the dmg to build the translations separately and manually include them.  I have updated KStars to automatically include kstars translations when built on MacOS from now on, so this should no longer be an issue.
