Bug Description
Several people discovered that automatic change of UI
language according to the system settings does not work
on MacOS X.
So far, this has been tested on machine with OS X
version 10.4.6 and language localisations cs_CZ, sk_SK
and fr_FR. And Inkscape version 0.44. For the test has
been used tips from FAQ, rewriting of
export "LANG=`grep \"\`defaults read .GlobalPreferences
AppleCollationOrder \
2>&1\`_\" /usr/share/
-n1 | sed 's/\./
/' | \
awk '{print $2}'`.UTF-8"
to
export LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (and several others)
and also test by simple running following commands in
terminal:
$ LANG=cs_CZ
$ /Applications/
The last tested command returned:
(inkscape-
supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
I guess that binary for mac os x had not been built
with lproj file(as written in FAQ - testing locales
section) specifying languages for project and that made
localisations unavailable.
If there are any other tips to try, I would be glad to
know them and forward to test. (I am afraid that user
who reported this to translators group is not familiar
with Mac OS X enough to compile Inkscape by himself.)
