FlightGear Launcher is in Spanish

Postby JLP04 » Mon Jun 15, 2020 4:28 pm

General Hardware Info:
CPU: 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
RAM: 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics Card: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB
Software Specs:
OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101)
Kernel: Darwin 19.5.0
FlightGear Related Info:
Basic Info:
FlightGear Version: 2020.1.2
Obtained From: Official SourceForge
Format: .dmg
Using: Official FlightGear Launcher

My FlightGear always worked fine and the launcher was always in English (my system language). This works fine in every version of FlightGear I have ever run (including 2020.1.1). But, with 2020.1.2, the launcher is in Spanish for some reason and I can't figure out how to fix this.

is your system using spanish as the default language or it is using english or another language as the default for your user?

i've also passed this to the dev mailing list so we can see how using a different language is to be done...

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

weird... but ok... here's the latest from the dev mailing list...

They need to use the system UI for this, as Sidi said:

> It's in the Language & Region section in System Preferences.

In that panel is an (ordered) list of languages to try: it goes through them in order (first is ‘optimal’, etc). For some users it sometimes contains werid entries.. The probem is if the user has listed: en_GB as their system locale, we don’t have that. If their next preference is French, which we *do* have it will pick that over en_US …. since fr is an exact match.

So it’s about relative weighting of regions and languages, I suspect.

Under Language and Region, I have English (US) first as the primary language and Spanish third, so it should be using English (US)

just like posting logs to pastebin, you have to post pics to an image server... imgur works well for this... then provide the link to the image here...

also(!) from the dev mailing list, james wants you to go to the bug tracker link at the top of these forums (above the logo pic) and create an issue there for your problem... be sure to set up a sourceforge account so you can more easily converse when questions are asked... more data is needed... not only from you but from others with this problem...

additionally, you said you have english as your first and spanish as your 3rd but what is your 2nd?? the pic should answer that, though... be sure to also include that pic in your bug report along with what you have posted here as we've worked through this problem... that way all the info gathered so far is in the bug report...
