Localization issue in self-compiled QGIS (Ubuntu 12.04)

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I tried to override the system locale (english) with the german
localization of QGIS. I can select "Deutsch" as a language in the
options, but upon restart there is a problem:

In the console I read:
Warning: loading of qgis translation failed
[/usr/local/share/qgis/i18n//qgis_Deutsch]
Warning: loading of qt translation failed
[/usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_Deutsch]

I checked what files are in /usr/local/share/qgis/i18n

and there is a qgis_de.qm file and no qgis_Deutsch.qm file.

Why is QGIS looking for qgis_Deutsch?

Anything wrong in my Ubuntu? Am I missing a package?

Thanks for any hints,
Andreas

On further investigation I saw that on Ubuntu 12.04 I see the actual
fully written language name in the dropdown box (e.g. Deutsch), whereas
in other systems where it actually works, the dropdown box contains
language codes (e.g. de). Maybe the mapping of the dropdown list values
does not work correctly in Ubuntu 12.04?

- From Qt4.8 on the Language abbrev. should be automatically changed to
the full language name.
Strange thing is - I tried it on a ubuntu 12.04 with self compiled
QGIS and everything worked well ..
Don't know why it is looking for qgis_Deutsch on your Computer ..
I am going to check that later today with my 12.04 Ubuntu VM.. if the
self compiled still works there must be something with the package

kind regards

Hi!

You are right .. I tried it last time but appearently missed to fully
switch the language and was satisfied with the written full country.
So there must be something else going on with selecting the language.
It only appears when you are using Qt4.8 because this version is able
to do the abbrev.->Countryname conversion by itself ..
Seems that we have to do it in another way because from my side
written names are much more convenient than abbrevations.

If there will be no fast solution I think we should disable the
conversion for the 1.8 release..

thanks for reporting
kind regards
Werner
