#19 Non-English interface, is not available.

[Giorgos]

Non-English interface (translated), is not available.
Trying to launch the translated interface, either fails silently, or brings the error message: "(process:8744): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.".

I'm at a Debian oldstable based distro, x64 KDE and I tried both the repo version and the latest stable (compiling it locally.

If I can make a suggestion - feature request:
At my experience, auto-guessing - reading the bash config, doesn't work properly, always. I think a GUI setting needed, for this particular option. ("Choose Language", or something.

Hello,

I tried it like this and it works:

LC_ALL=it_IT.utf8 src/grsync

keep in mind it will look for locale files in the usual system folders, so you should either run "make install" or use the distribution binary.

Hope that helps

[Giorgos]

Yes I installed it.
I'll try it on a fresh system ASAP and I'll be back.

I reopen the topic to support the need for an option to choose the language. as proposed by @ Giorgos . on my system (kde plasma 6.3) it is the only application resistant to locale modification. upon installation it is in French but after a one-off event such as a locale update it becomes English again. It is frustrating to spend your time playing in the system settings (gui/cli) to try to obtain an interface in the system language.

modifying the files /etc/locale.conf ; /etc/locale.gen does not change much. as well as uninstalling/reinstalling.
so an option in the menu settings ("Choose Language", or something...) would be a good idea!

Thank you for maintaining and improving this much-needed graphical application.

cordially

PS: I have provided screenshots in attachment to illustrate the problem.

Thanks for your report.
Honestly, I don't think that every application with a GUI should have a language choice in the settings.
In fact, most do not.
If the language setting through the standard procedure doesn't work, it's either a problem of the build setup or the build itself, which is specific to the distribution and the version.
Would you be so kind as to try on another distribution and/or version to see whether the problem is always there and the same?
I already checked on my pretty standard ubuntu 24.04, and changing language as suggested above works, both using the installed binary and a manually compiled one. Hence why I think the issue is probably linked to the package you installed.
Thanks again to everyone for looking into this and please keep reporting!
Cheers!
