 Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 12:14 pm Post subject: kde-i18n-3.5.5 and LINGUAS |
 |
|
Hello,
I have my LINGUAS variable set to "en" but kde-i18n-3.5.5 won't accept it. Why is this?
| Code: | superfly ~ # emerge -1 kde-meta -av
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies ... done!
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kde-i18n-3.5.5 USE="kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility xinerama -arts -debug" LINGUAS="-af -ar -az -bg -bn -br -bs -ca -cs -cy -da -de -el -en_GB -eo -es -et -eu -fa -fi -fr -fy -ga -gl -he -hi -hr -hu -is -it -ja -kk -km -ko -lt -lv -mk -mn -ms -nb -nds -nl -nn -pa -pl -pt -pt_BR -ro -ru -rw -se -sk -sl -sr -sr@Latn -ss -sv -ta -tg -tr -uk -uz -vi -zh_CN -zh_TW" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.5 USE="nls%* -accessibility" 0 kB
Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

My guess would be that "en" is the default for kde and that you only needed it to enable it for other languages.
My LINGUAS setting...
| Code: | | LINGUAS="en_GB en_US he" |
Which gives me British English, American English, and Hebrew
Not all apps have all languages. Hope that helps.
Check out the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml
Onec you set that up... you will get the language(s) installed that you want. (If they are available) |

| Thank you for the link. It clearly refers to some RFC where the codes are defined, and the RFC lists en, so I thought it should be legal. Besides, why is en_GB mentioned and not en_US? I'll try en_US now instead of en and see what happens. |

| Those are translations, not languages. en_US is the standard which is used when nothing else is selected. This happens to be the case for most programs, only very few have a different language as base and a translation into english. en_GB is then obviously the translation into the british english variant (which happens to be very similiar to the original but still different). |

| I see. While I'd prefer everything in my PC to be in US English, I also want to have Unicode support, thus I need the nls flag. But it appears that the nls flag pulls kde-i18n which then needs a LINGUAS other than "en" and "en_US". So how should I deal with this? |

| I have the same problem here. Perhaps the kde-i18n package needs to be modified to recognize en or en_US |

It seems there is a solution to this and it has been addressed in the ebuild and is waiting for QA. Hopefully this should entirely go away in the future and it should not be required to set LINGUAS in your make.conf. The work-around for now is to set LINGUAS in make conf to what would be your second language. Please note that a value of "en" or "en_US" does not work and is actually the default. This package is for building programs with support for languages other than English. You can read about it here if you want: KDE Internationalization/Localization
work-around (British English as a second language)
in /etc/make.conf
Please note that if you have a real second language to choose it instead of the value above. I'll keep watching the bug so this can be marked solved.
Bug 137297

I have the same problem: default install, LINGUAS not set and no desire to do so.
To affect as few other things as possible, I may want to use the keyword linguas_en for kde-i18n only.
But this still does not work although LINGUAS=en would.
I think I will then try linguas_en_GB which seems like a very dirty "solution" to me.

you change the LINGUAS line then the next update the world wants to update everything!!!!
if we have only en_US then says somehting about linguas variables blah blah.
i did not notice what exactly it said.
sure it will want to re emerge OO and kde.
i have LINGUAS="en_US"
see what it wants to do with OO
localhost ramaswamy # emerge openoffice -DNuav

when i emerged the OO i did not have any LINGUAS set in my /etc/make.conf.
now that its alredy done and working i am not going to spend 6 hrs compile on this.
