[opensuse] vlc 2 interface language
Hello: This is on openSUSE 13.1 with its default KDE4 desktop. I have installed vlc 2.1.5 from packman repo. KDE4 desktop language is set to Hungarian, but the vlc interface is English. I would like to set it to Hungarian. All google results suggest that I can change the language in Preferences/Interface, but I don't have any option for changing the language there. What is the trick? KDE4 apps have Hungarian menus etc. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't guess there is one. I don't see an option to change language nor any available lang packages for vlc. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Istvan, The following worked for me: from the command line (in sh/bash) LANG=yourLang ; vlc You can edit the command in KDE menu to add LANG setting. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

As an example, the Spanish vlc messages are in the file: /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/vlc.mo and it comes from the package "vlc-noX-lang.*.noarch". Do you have it installed? What is the two letter language code for Hungarian? hu, I believe. So your file would be "/usr/share/locale/hu/LC_MESSAGES/vlc.mo". To force vlc (or any other program), to display in Spanish in my English desktop, I would use: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 KDE_LANG=es_ES vlc You can guess what is the concoction for Hungarian. Try it. Your desktop should set the appropriate environment automatically, but you can force another, and test. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

No, it wasn't. After installing it, language interface is OK.

It is hu_HU.UTF-8 for Hungarian. Thanks! Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
