that's right, since I'm using Kubuntu (KDE), I (wrongly) assumed that I didn't have to install gnome package but I forgot that Gimp is using gtk libraries
and indeed, after installing language-pack-gnome-fr it works! as a side note, it is interesting to see the different approaches between Debian who chooses to install all language within each package, and Ubuntu who prefer to have all localisations/translation for all packages but on only the desired languages thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101402 Title: No support for German language gimp kubuntu 12.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/1101402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
