Openshot does not start in linuxmint 17.1

Asked by EmadHelmi

Hi i download the openshot from the ppa(as it said in the site) and when i want to run it,the terminal said:
------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------

(process:14930): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
 Using the fallback 'C' locale.
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.4.3)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 14881. Creating new pid lock file.

------------------------- ERROR 2 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot.openshot import main'
Error Message: unsupported locale setting
----------------------------------------------------------------

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries
required for our application to run. Here are some trouble shooting
tips:

Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the
 following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get
 an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
 NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.

       $ python
       >> import mlt
       >> mlt.Factory().init()

Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is
 to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more
 help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
 a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new
 bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!

I've got LInux mint 17.1 and no worries with on it.
At first look you seems to have an issue with your locale i.e your language.
