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.

Hi,

after keeping this (bogus) bug open for far too long I close it now
to get sanity to the buglist.

So you want english messages in gcc and other apps.

Of course, you want "C" messages. What else is messages in a GUI program
than menus or dialogs? OOos default language is en-US.

Probably because you somehow set your locale in a way where it affects
OOo and not Iceweasel or GNOME (I cannot yet imagine how, but users do
weird stuff at times). Maybe you set it in Iceweasels/GMOMEs UI?

. No bug either in OOo but possibly in your config.

Tried it here myself. setting LC_MESSAGES to C gives me OOo in english
(as said above corretly - you want "C" messages) and setting
LC_MESSAGES back to de_DE.UTF-8 gives it to me in German again.

Point moot, too.

Regards,

Rene
