Set german lamguage

[badeoel]

Hi everyone,

I have a program, written in C# using GTK#, that is localized for english. I want to translate it to german and changed all texts inside the sourcecode. But I have a problem: All dialogs (Color-Dialog, Yes/Now-Dialogs) use english words and I don't know, how to translate them. I'm pretty sure, that I can switch the language of the gtk-part to german, but I have no Idea, how to do that.

I should add, that I'm not that familiar with Mono and GTK. Can anybody help me?

Thanks for your help!

The language of the Gtk+ strings should match the language of your
operating system. If you want to allow the user to specify a different
language in the application itself, the only way that I'm aware of is to
set the "LANG" environment variable(not sure whether that works on
non-unix operating systems, too) via g_setenv. See bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477396 for details.

I did some additional tests and found out, that the language strings are correct, when starting the program with mono. When I use gtk# for .net  (starting under .net framework instead of mono), then the lanuage strings are wrong.
Is this probably a bug of gtk# for windows?

Has anybody the same problem?

Ciao!

That's interesting.

Yes, it is. Would you mind filing a bug report on
http://www.mono-project.com/Bugs so that we can track the issue?

I wanted to test this on my German Windows installation already, but
didn't find the time.

Thank you, now I can stop searching. :-) Ciao!
