Bug#321591: gcc-4.0: gcc does not print messages in German
Package: gcc-4.0
Version: 4.0.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Gcc always prints its messages in English, rather than my preferred
German. Running "strace gcc-4.0 -v" shows that gcc tries to read the
german messages from the file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc.mo,
which does not exist. It had better read
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc-4.0.mo, which is there.
And indeed, running
"ln -s gcc-4.0.mo /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc.mo"
works around the problem.
