Bug#467427: openoffice.org-common: Locale is French (fr_FR.UTF-8) but setting "LC_MESSAGES=C" puts OOo in English
Package: openoffice.org-common
Version: 1:2.3.1-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Hello,
I use a French environment and until recently OOo was in French too. I have all
necessary packages installed:
ii openoffice.org-help-fr 1:2.3.1-5 French help for OpenOffice.org
ii openoffice.org-l10n-fr 1:2.3.1-5 French language package for OpenOffice.org
But I've set "LC_MESSAGES=C" to see GCC errors in English, and more generally
to be able to report bugs with the original message.
Now OOo is displaying in English.
$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I guess OOo is reading LC_ALL without searching further. But Gnome, Iceweasel,
etc. are still in French.
Setting back LC_MESSAGES to "fr_FR.UTF-8" doesn't help. I have to force LC_ALL
to be "fr_FR.UTF-8" to restore the interface in French.
