   Hello,

   I try to have GIMP in French (SliTaz rolling 32bits).

   I installed package locale-fr-extra but GIMP is still in English.

   Is there a translation in French in this package?

   Thank you for your help.

   Hi, gimp theoretically loads the system language
   in terminal check
   printenv LANGUAGE
   printenv LANG

   However, you can also force loading from the command line
   LANGUAGE=fr gimp

   1.2. Langue
   GIMP automatically detects and uses the system language. In the unlikely event that language detection fails, or if you want to use a different language, you can change the language used in: Edit → Preferences, then go to the Interface section; Language can be set at the top.
   Vous pouvez aussi :
   Sous Linux
   In LINUX: in console mode, type LANGUAGE=en gimp or LANG=en gimp replacing en with fr, de, ... according to the language you want. Background: Using LANGUAGE=en sets an environment variable for the executed program gimp.

   https://docs.gimp.org/fr/gimp-fire-up.html

   If it starts in the desired language, the packages are complete, otherwise wait for the developers' help

   Hi,

   cedric@R8:~$ printenv LANG
   fr_BE.UTF-8

   cedric@R8:~$ LANG=fr gimp
   ==> GIMP is still in English.

   I have GIMP 2.8.20. In Edit/Preferences/Interface: no option to select the language.

   A few years ago, I think that my GIMP was in French and that the French translation was in package locale-fr-extra. See also: https://forum.slitaz.org/topic/gimp-en-francais

   Hi R8,

   I think found why gimp remain in english.
   locale-fr-extra not include gimp locale.
   I rebuild it on cook, new package include them.

   My command was
   LANGUAGE=fr gimp
   if I launch with
   LANG=fr gimp
   even by me it ignores it...
   anyway I'll leave you in better hands than mine, since Shann has already taken care of it ;-)

   Hi gibor,

   for your tips seem not work as long as locale extra not installed.
   I test with LANGUAGE=fr gimp => gimp remain english.

   Infact if i install locale-fr-extra / locale-it-extra.
   by default gimp run as french, but if run :
   LANGUAGE=en gimp => gimp load with en locale
   LANGUAGE=it gimp => gimp load with it locale.
   LANGUAGE=fr gimp => gimp load with fr locale.
