From version 1.2.6 I had problems to change language from en to de (German) on Linux. I used edit - options to set it, but nothing happens... :-(
A few days ago I found a solution: for reasons I can't remember I looked into ~/.notecase/notecase.ini and changed language from "de" to "de_DE" (see example):
[Display]
...
Language=de_DE
...
From now on the long missed language support for German is working :-)
Maybe this a bug in the locale support?
I am not sure if this is the bug in my code or in Ubuntu in general.
I even had to write special instructions for (K)Ubuntu users on how to add support for your locale. You can find this text in the FAQ section of the notecase help file.
I never had any locale problems on Fedora (my main Linux distro) and on Ubuntu I always had to tweak the distro to get it working.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Anton's trick (see above) worked very neatly for 1.5.2 deb from getdeb. That is fr_FR to replace fr
Thanks to both of you
