how to start in another language?

Daniel Bauer-2
Hi,

I'd tried to start digikam svn in english (my computer talks german
usually...).

I tried "export LANG=en.UTF-8 ;" but it always comes comes up in german.
I guess I have only the german language file, but when I look at the
compile_digikam script I don't know what exactly I must change to get both,
the german *and* the english language file.

Is it possible to have both? (I'd use english only when I want to report a bug
or wish so that I have the correct names from menues etc.)

thanks for your help.

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I'm not sure what you got, but you could easily check it. Open a shell
window and type

find / -name digikam.mo 2>/dev/null

after a few seconds you could see in which languages digikam is
installed on your computer. On my computer (running Kubuntu)  I've got
50 different language files for digikam and all located under
/usr/share/locale and its subdirectories.

The only way i know to change the language that digikam will start with
is the KDE control center. There is a menu/icon for Regional settings
and language there you could add additional languages. digikam will come
up in the language that is at top. If this language is not installed for
digikam, than it will come with the next installed language. English
should always be available and configured as "fall-back" language

Hope this helps
Oliver

Sure. You don't need any english language file as it is the default.

LANG is not enough, you must also export LANGUAGE variable :

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_CH:en
