Public bug reported: I want to use the pt_BR translation of Mercurial help. I've changed LANG, LC_ALL and even LANGUAGE to pt_BR but Mercurial is still using the english text.
The Mercurial's pt_BR translation is present at /usr/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo however, Mercurial seeks for it at another path: /usr/share/locale-langpack/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo Steps to reproduce: export LANG='pt_BR' strace -o trace.log hg version grep pt_BR trace.log Result: stat("/usr/share/mercurial/locale/pt_BR.ISO8859-1/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo", 0x7fff2da0e4d0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/locale-langpack/pt_BR.ISO8859-1/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo", 0x7fff2da0e4d0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/mercurial/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo", 0x7fff2da0e4d0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/locale-langpack/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo", 0x7fff2da0e4d0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: mercurial 4.5.3-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun May 20 11:39:54 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-13 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) SourcePackage: mercurial UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: mercurial (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772266 Title: Mercurial translations are not accessible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mercurial/+bug/1772266/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
