linux problems, no language

<< < (2/2)

Well, at last I've found the root of the problem: My system is Hungarian (locale hu_HU.UTF-8) and as there was no language for this locale none could be used.

If i put this locale to 'en' section of language.ufo I can select it from the menu however there are no texts for difficulty info, intro, etc. (just msgid)

I've started to make a Hungarian translation, put it in i18n, made 'hu' setting in language.ufo. Now I can select Hungarian, ok. But I left the hu_HU.UTF8 locale in English section too and if I select English the game turns into Hungarian. So it seems there is a bug somewhere in the language handling. Maybe (but I didn't check it) the first two char of the locale was used as language-id not the section name...

Why I can't use other language than my locale setting? (Others are not even shown in the menu.)

Do you mean 'export LANG=en.UTF-8;ufo' ?
Because setting LANG env. changed my locale to english (in the output of locale program), but the game worked the same way: English cannot be selected only No language and Hungarian.

In Windows I can select English and other languages, and it's Hungarian too. ??

There is no need export LANG. Setting it (more precisely LC_MESSAGES) for ufo process is enough. I can see and switch to a different languages, but if I don't set LANG to appropriate locale, I still don't see the messages.

geever:
I thought '$' sign before LANG was a variable-sign, but now I can see that's a prompt-sign... (putting a space between prompt-sign and the command could make it clear, or using '#')

I couldn't select any languages.
After setting LANG=en.UTF-8 a `locale' request gave me some errors:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

...ops, I've found something: my /etc/locale.gen file contained :'hu_HU.UTF-8 UTF-8'. After added 'en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8' and run the locale-gen the English language appeared in the game and English texts were correct. wow! :)
