Hi Nick,

"LANG=x your_app" will start a program with a different language
settings. But beware of LANG interaction with LC_ - LC_ overrides LANG.
Use LC_ALL instead of LANG if you want to be 100% sure, but this can be
undesirable... For example if you want to start application with english
GUI, but have german sorting and dates, use "LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 your_app"
As promising as that looked it didn't work when I start kwrite in konsole.
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 kwrite
starts kwrite with german GUI.
$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Even when I switch to english locale:
$ export LANG=C; locale
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
$ kwrite
...still has german GUI unfortunately.
Thanks,
Stefan
I was thinking if you start app with the language
variable set, it
would work, but I just tested and it does not
Ok, didn't think of that one. Maybe it's possible to work that out.
