GTK applications behave weird if locale is set to anything other than "C"

[petr.snyder at yahoo.co.uk]

Hi,

@Yves
I've never seen the Gtk-Warning below, though I am using "de_DE.UTF-8". My open file dialog of Gnucash also shows everything in alphabetical order. Something else must be wrong.

@Rolf, as you are using an Intel-Mac and I am sitting on a PowerPC: What's in your /usr/share/locale/ ?  That seems to be the place where GTK-apps get their localization stuff (I was able to fix Gnucash's missing EURO-Sign (€) by editing /usr/share/locale/de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MONETARY. ) . What happens if you type "locale" and "locale -a" in a terminal?

@all If GTK-apps read their language specific settings from usr/share/locale, what is /opt/local/share/locale used for ????

Best Regards, Peter

Hi

first of all, any gtk app will kindly tell you that :

Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
         Using the fallback C locale.

And the only way of dealing with many problems is indeed to avoid  
localisation.

But I do use LANG=fr and nothing else (no _CA, no LC_ALL) and many  
things do work quite fine, including gimp.
