[Bug 312419] New: [wish list] Internationalization: digiKam in English only

            Bug ID: 312419
           Summary: [wish list] Internationalization: digiKam in English
                    only
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.6.0
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: setup
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

I installed digiKam on a computer with Ubuntu 10.04 in French. All my other
application are in French, except when there is no translation.

It was impossible to switch digiKam from English to French, until I came across
a CLOSED bug (that is, a bug invisible with default search option) reported for
Ubuntu 11.x and digiKam in German
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278329). I was able to switch to French
after installing "language-pack-kde-fr-base".

I would recommend that this closed bug stays visible with default search
options, and/or goes to the main documentation since it explains how to solve
the issue. The FAQ "Is Digikam available in my language ?"
(http://www.digikam.org/node/167) does not help at all, since it does not
explain how to solve the "language pack" problem.

I think that a dependence with "language-pack-kde-<language_initials>-base"
should be checked or created when one want to install digiKam, and/or a message
should pops-up when one tries to change language (help menu) but has no choice
other choice than English.

All translations are managed outside digiKam, by your distro team...

Hi Gilles

But I still think that a couple of lines should be added in the FAQs of
digikam's site. What do you think?

Hi Gilles

No I dont. Its a very small job. You add it when free. No need to make an
account for it. Kindly replace the text in "distribution package" by this text:

If you installed digikam using your distribution package, language files should
be included with it and you can run digikam in any supported language.
You can change the default language by using KDE Control Center (kcontrol) :
Go to "Regional & Accessibility" and then in "Country/Region & Language" to use
your default language.
If you dont find the required language in it, you can add a language by
installing that particular language pack. For example, in debian based distros,
if you want to add "french" language, you can do it by following:

sudo apt-get install language-pack-kde-fr-base
sudo apt-get install language-pack-kde-fr

Note, that will affects all your KDE applications.
You can also change the language used in digikam with the $LANG environment
variable. Eg :

export LANG=fr.UTF-8 ; digikam
