 |
|
Hi
I just tried to set my firefox menu to german language but it seems not to work... Is this possible at all? Or do I have to emerge the non-bin-firefox?
What is set in firefox:
-Edit->Prefs->Content->Languages->german de-de (I know this is for websites only, but I want to change the GUI language)
-about:config->intl.locale.matchOS->LOCKED-True (cant change)
locale.gen: | Code: |
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
make.conf:
emerge -pv firefox-bin
| Code: |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ~] www-client/firefox-bin-44.0::gentoo USE="(-selinux) -startup-notification" LINGUAS="de -af -ar -as -ast -be -bg -bn_BD -bn_IN -br -bs -ca -cs -cy -da -el -en_GB -en_ZA -eo -es_AR -es_CL -es_ES -es_MX -et -eu -fa -fi -fr -fy_NL -ga_IE -gd -gl -gu_IN -he -hi_IN -hr -hu -hy_AM -id -is -it -ja -kk -kn -ko -lt -lv -mai -mk -ml -mr -nb_NO -nl -nn_NO -or -pa_IN -pl -pt_BR -pt_PT -rm -ro -ru -si -sk -sl -son -sq -sr -sv_SE -ta -te -tr -uk -vi -zh_CN -zh_TW" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB |
Even when I start with "LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" /usr/bin/firefox-bin" the GUI is in english.

In https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Firefox#External_resources there is a link about Change the interface language (LINGUAS). Does that solve your problem?
Setting LINGUAS for firefox only makes it download and install the xpi package but not switching the interface. |

| Thank you, downloading german language pack AND enabling it was sufficient, works now. |

You should not have needed to download it since downloading and installation has already been done by portage.
With manually downloading and "installing" that xpi file directly in firefox you might have installed it in your personal ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory. |

| I must confess about:addons -> Languages -> german lang. pack was disabled and I think simply enabling it did the trick. I think I disabled that in the past. |
