Description Andreas Moog 2014-12-31 19:11:20 UTC 
(Bug forwarded from Launchpad, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1404947)

LC_ALL="" LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=C gcompris

that should run the standard english version of the program interface but in fact the German version is shown. Check "man 7 locale" for the hierarchy of locale-related environment variables.

This happens on Ubuntu as well on Debian, both with the packaged versions and freshly compiled sources.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with "LC_ALL="" LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=C gcompris"

Actual Results:  
Starts with german interface

Expected Results:  
Starts with english interface

I just tested again and this is not a bug, it's a feature. When GCompris is set to the system locale it respects the LANG env variable. And BTW this is releated to the Gtk+ version, not the Qt one.
