Language settings issue on macOS
Boernsman opened this issue · comments
In macOS multiple preferred languages can be set. If I add German as system language then the nymea:app switches to German - primary system language is still English.
Please post the first few lines of the log. It prints locale info of the system

Ok. I've looked into this... The reason why this happens:
you have as primary language "en_AT" set. Now it tries to load that and fails, because noone translated the app to "en_AT". There is "en_US" but that's not a good match, numbers and dates would show wrong.
So it moves on to the second option which is "de_AT". There isn't a "de_AT" either, however, there is a "de"... It loads that.
So that means "de_AT" matches closer to "de" than "en_AT" to "en_US".
I guess an option for this case would be to provide a translation for "en" translation... Not sure what else that might break tho...
