Hi David, > However, my point was rather > why the locale affects the build at all.
The locale affects the build only if the locale is set to LANG=C (which it should never be on end-user systems) because the raw gettext command- line tools that we invoke through our custom build system won't do translation when LANG=C for the reasons that I mentioned above. I hope that makes sense. ;-) Regards, Lucas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760978 Title: Shotwell's desktop file contains English translations for all languages and cannot be translated -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
