Language changed after recent update

slickmrick

Hi, am enjoying BigLinux so far and impressed with it’s speed/stability (comparing with XeroLinux & Mabox). Have it installed on my testing laptop before committing myself to my desktop PC as daily driver. Everything was working well until today when I allowed the system to update & as new kernel installed rebooted the laptop. 1st thing I have noticed is that the Big Store and the Control Center apps are now in Portuguese! They were both in English prior to the updates. The language was set to English (GB/UK) during installation. I have checked all the usual KDE-Plasma language settings & it only shows English language installed (no other languages listed anywhere). All my dictionary files (Web browsers, Libre Office etc) are also set to English(EN). Everything else on the system is working fine in English language text. I have never seen or installed Portuguese language anywhere else on this installation, so assume the two apps were updated which has broken the language setting for these apps. The versions installed are: Bigstore 22.10.15_2021, BigControlCenter 2022.10.10-0816. I’m pretty sure it’s probably just a configuration file that needs editing?? Anyway, thanks for creating such an impressive distro which I hope to be able to use as my new daily driver!

Don’t know why the last section of my 1st post ended up with text repeating itself! I double checked it before clicking ‘post’ so seems to be a glitch in the forum submitting form/box??😬

BIGBRUNO

Please, send result of:

echo $LANG
echo $LANGUAGE

slickmrick

echo $ LANG
result =
LANG
echo $ LANGUAGE
result =
LANGUAGE

The above commands don’t look right to me?

BIGBRUNO

slickmrick use space in $LANG and $LANGUAGE without space

slickmrick

echo $LANGUAGE
returns =
nothing!
echo $LANG
returns =
en_GB.UTF-8

BIGBRUNO

I couldn’t replicate the problem on my system, but I’ve seen something similar on livecd, I released an update from biglinux-session-and-themes, update the system and reboot to see if it solves the language problem.

slickmrick

Okay Sir! I will do that & report back tomorrow! Thanks again for your time, much appreciated!🙏

slickmrick

Okay, did
sudo pacman -Syu
Found some updates, & then I rebooted PC. (but I don’t recall seeing any updates to any of the
affected packages listed ![below)](

https://)
Re-opened the following apps: Big-Store, Big-Welcome & Control Center. All are in Portuguese.
(see the attached screenshots). As none of these apps have any settings to change the displayed
language from Portuguese to English I am stuck with the following options:

Going back to school to learn what is probably one of the most difficult languages to learn (so
I have been reliably informed by my multi-lingual relatives!)
Guessing what all the text means.
Switching back to Xero or Garuda or Mabox (which I don’t want to do, as ALL three of these
Arch based distros have ended up being very unstable (which I’m beginning to think is common to
ALL Arch based distros - unless they are almost 100% ‘pure-vanilla’ Arch, installed from scratch with
literally NO customisations or tweaks.

BIGBRUNO

For some unknown reason your system does not have LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8

I tried to replicate the problem by doing the installation in English and I couldn’t replicate the problem, you can test, for example, open it through the terminal:

LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 big-store

slickmrick

Hi, don’t really know why you say:
“your system does not have LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8”, when I get the following:

mainuser@hp250g7-nb-biglinux-manjaro-arch-kde:~$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8

Then running your suggested big-store command:
mainuser@hp250g7-nb-biglinux-manjaro-arch-kde:~$ LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 big-store
shows:

and big-store opens as normal, but still in Portuguese (as per my previous screenshot image)!??
Where is it getting the Portuguese language files from if no Portuguese installed on system???

BIGBRUNO

slickmrick BigLinux programs are written in Portuguese and translated into other languages, English translations are in /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/

The LANG variable is in English, the LANGUAGE is not being generated, but even manually forcing the big-store was not in English, there is something really strange.

Is the /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/big-store.mo file on the system?

slickmrick

Yes, /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/ contains (along with many other files):
big-store.mo
bigcontrolcenter.mo

But no file containing text big-welcome/bigwelcome (but this may be normal?)

I did notice that there is a folder:
/home/mainuser/.config/big-welcome
but it is empty.

BIGBRUNO

slickmrick About big-welcome is ok, it is part of bigcontrolcenter.

In my system using pt_BR as default, i’m used: LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 big-store
And big-store show all in english, and try with: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 big-store
Now don’t change anything and big-store show text in portuguese.

slickmrick

I tried running systemsettings (& I had to run using terminal command:
systemsettings
as would not open any other way)
Then added extra language:
American English
and made it default language. (so now only American English & British English listed as installed)
Rebooted.
Issue still there when running: Big-Store, Big-Welcome & Control Center. (even when launching from
terminal using:
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 big-store
or
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 big-welcome

Not sure what else I can do at this point???😕

BIGBRUNO

Maybe
sudo locale-gen

Have you tried creating another user to find out if the problem may be in some configuration file inside the home?

slickmrick

sudo locale-gen command ran without errors, rebooted, tried again, same issue
created another user, rebooted, logged in as new user, same issue.

Removido2

Even though I understand everything better by another means, I will try to adapt to modernity.

Open the Big-Store and just in case check if the aspell-en package is installed

Sorry my bad english

T+ = See you later

slickmrick

Big-Hi Paulinho1971!
Checked in Big-Store & yes, aspell-en is installed (I can only see option to REMOVE it, so guess it must be
installed!
PS. Your English is million times better than my Portuguese!!😝
