You have to install the language you want to use too: For instance the German one: $ sudo aptitude install language-pack-de-base language-pack-he and language-pack-he-base are for Hebrew. Couldn't find out which System.Language string you need with that... Kind regards, Ron_2nd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Hi all,
I just wanted to give you my 2 cents on the locales and Gambas. Having to manualy install into the system the locales that a gambas application supports in order to use them it's sort of weird... If the strings for a given language are there (and programmatically the "System.Language" is set to use them), why can't the Gambas app just use them? On the other hand even if the system locale is really necessary in order to use a particular translation, it would be nice if the Gambas application packager could lookup the current available translations and add the corresponding system locales packages to the generated application package as a "suggested" ones.

No idea why. If someone can find a way to use the translation API of the glibc without having to install the corresponding locale files, it will be a great help for everyone. > On the other hand even if the system locale is really necessary in order > to use a particular translation, it would be nice if the Gambas > application packager could lookup the current available translations and > add the corresponding system locales packages to the generated > application package as a "suggested" ones. Indeed. The problem is that all locale packages are different between distributions, and the way they are named too. I must create a list of all locale packages for each language, and each distributions supported by the IDE (Mandriva, SuSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, Slackware). It is an huge job I cannot make alone!
