GIMP in French - package locale-fr-extra

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.

Re: GIMP in French - package locale-fr-extra

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.

Re: GIMP in French - package locale-fr-extra

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 [c]LANGUAGE=fr gimp[/c] => gimp remain english.

Infact if i install locale-fr-extra / locale-it-extra.

by default gimp run as french, but if run :

[c]LANGUAGE=en gimp[/c] => gimp load with en locale

[c]LANGUAGE=it gimp[/c] => gimp load with it locale.

[c]LANGUAGE=fr gimp[/c] => gimp load with fr locale.
