[Solved] porteus refuses to switch language
[Solved] porteus refuses to switch language
Hello. I've installed the language files through the porteus settings centre, the modules are loaded at startup but the menus and applications remain in english. If i logout the language selection shows only "default". How do I troubleshoot this? I'm using porteus 5.01 lxqt x64

porteus refuses to switch language
not 100% sure, but it looks like language selection for lxqt is not properly implemented for lxqt.
see what happens if you go to menu>preferences>lxqt settings>locale, and set you chosen locale there. (this will add [formats]LANG=<your_locale> to ~/.config/lxqt/lxqt-config-locale.conf file)
you'll need to logout/in, too, i think.
if you mean on the lxdm login screen, i'm not sure it works there, though i would have thought it'd be handled by gtk..
also, to check whether the LANG environment variable is set properly, in terminal:
Code: Select all
echo $LANG

I have a laptop with the same porteus version but language changing has worked flawlessly, maybe a fluke.ncmprhnsbl wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 02:09not 100% sure, but it looks like language selection for lxqt is not properly implemented for lxqt.

In lxqt locale the language is already set correctly. Anyway running the echo $LANG command returns:
Code: Select all
