I checked the program and mwindow.C uses getenv to check the locale value (results of which you can see by typing "printenv" in a window) first for LANGUAGE. If that is set, then that is what is used as your language. If not, then it checks to see if LC_ALL is set and if so, then uses that. Last, if neither of the above is set, then the value of LANG is used for the language. And I will update the manual accordingly! |

I think different Operating Systems and desktops may handle this differently so I will correct the manual to say so because this is how it reads now with today's update: LANG Cinelerra can be localized to display menus and messages in many languages. Currently there are 16 languages in addition to English, of varying quality. A little more information on these is in the Translations chapter. Language settings are normally read from your Linux O/S language settings. To run on a language different than the one selected on your system just change the LANG environment ariable before starting up Cinelerra like this: export LANG=2 letter language code_2 letter country code.UTF-8 For example, from a window type: export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 then startup Cinelerra and you will have translations in Spanish. If you started Cinelerra from that same window using the {cinelerra_path}/bin/cin you will see a message in that window something similar to: lang changed from ’en_US.UTF-8’ to ’es_ES-UTF-8’ Depending on your Operating System and Desktop application, there may be other ways to accomplish a language change. For example, on Fedora with the Gnome desktop, the simplest method of switching your language to German and immediately starting Cinelerra is to use: LANGUAGE=de {cinelerra_path}/bin/cin I will test some more after seeing MatN's results. |

I completely forgot about BT113, my bad, sorry |

I installed extra languages. If in (MINT XFCE) I change the language to "German, Germany UTF-8" , then after logout/login, doing (in a terminal) "export | grep -i lang" shows declare -x GDM_LANG="de_DE" declare -x LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" declare -x LANGUAGE="de_DE" and cin starts up in German. If I set it to "English, United States UTF-8" the same export command shows: declare -x GDM_LANG="en_US" declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8" declare -x LANGUAGE="en_US" Cin starts in English. If I set LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" but LANGUAGE="en_US" cin starts in English. If I set LANG="en_US.UTF-8" but LANGUAGE="de_DE" cin starts in German. So it looks like cin reacts only the LANGUAGE, not LANG. I must have made an mistake before, although I was sure I tested both, and another program (Wireshark) switched to German while Cin did not. Maybe Wireshark looks at a different environment variable. |

BT 0000113 for a settings preference logged awhile back -- it needs to be done sooner or later. Both "export LANG=de_DE" and "LANG=de_DE {cinelerra_path}/bin/cin" work on Fedora. I will fix the manual. For some reason I used to get LANGUAGE=de to work but now does not. I will also make a note in the manual about the status of the various language translated po/mo files. |
