On OSX, Krita always display UI in English even when another language is specified in "Switch application language." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Krita 2. Go to Settings>Switch application language, choose Japanese, and click OK 3. Restart Krita Actual Results: Krita still runs in English, even when switch application language says another language is selected. Expected Results: UI will be in specified language(this case, Japanese) after restart. This happened on my macbook air(Yosemite) both with Krita2.9 and Krita2.9.1.
Hi, Is your operating system set to English or Japanese? I don't know much about OSX, and I only have an English copy of OSX, but on Windows, you can only change the language to the OS language.
Hi Boudewijin. OSX has a language setting in System Preference > Language & Region. If you add Japanese there and choose it as primary language(bringing it to top of the list) and restart, I assume you can make OSX to run in Japanese mode. I originally had Japanese as the primary language there. With your post, I quick checked if changing the primary language to English makes difference - it *does* make a difference. If I make OSX primary language English, then Krita localization works. But if I change the language back to Japanese, localization does not work(I can see language choices but the display language remains to be English) I attach Language & Region screens as reference.
Ha, so that's exactly the opposite of the situation on Windows :-).

I assume there could be some issue how Krita handles resource in Japanese(or possibly other non-English) locale in OSX. Myself did not remember seeing that problem, but nother Japanese OSX user reports that "Toolbar icons not shown in Japanese locale" - and the user's workaround is, changing OSX to English, run Krita(icons shown correctly), changing OSX back to Japanese. Once you run Krita in English locale, toolbar icons start to work fine after changing back to Japanese locale, the user says. Movie below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwmU5lFXyoQ&feature=youtu.be
Created attachment 93654 [details] Icon missing and Language does not switch. The same problem has occurred. This problem was there from before krita v2.9.
Created attachment 93655 [details] The console log when krita launched. I attached a console log of when krita launch in OSX Japanese environment. I wish that it becomes a hint for this issue fix.
Hm, I just checked on Mavericks, and there switching the language works :-(
I checked it again with the newest packages, and I still cannot reproduce.
Tested 3.0.1 beta build - krita-3.0.99.90.dmg (a4c2dc7c51aa43adee7acceacaf82164) Japanese UI displayed correctly, and switching to American English then back to Japanese worked fine as well. I think this is fixed.
