Set language in GRASS-7.0.0

[Biz]

Hi, I have not reported software difficulties before so apologies if I am doing it wrong. I did see this issue reported following a normal google search, but I could not see how to plus one the report. I have pasted the message here in case it helps too.

Hi,

2015-02-25 15:49 GMT+01:00 Venkatesh Raghavan <raghavan at media.osaka-cu.ac.jp>:

GException Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS GIS

7.0.0\gui\wxpython\gui_core\preferences.py", line 178, in OnSave

self.settings.SaveToFile()

File "C:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS GIS

7.0.0\gui\wxpython\core\settings.py", line 1032, in SaveToFile

'detail' : e }) core.gcmd . GException

Any suggestions for fixing this?

hm, I cannot reproduce this error on Czech Windows (switching from Czech to English). So probably it could be related to JP environment (?) ...

I too have the issue on my Japanese work computer. I have most programs/desktop set to English, but the system itself is still Japanese. I installed WinGRASS-7.0.0-1-Setup (was not able to install the example data with it though), and opened the program from the desktop shortcut. Some parts of the opening windows were in Japanese, I clicked the button to open the program proper (using the default locations etc), found the setting to change the language and saved as en. I closed the windows but when I reopened the program, the language was still Japanese (system). I have included the error below and the system info.

Unfortunately I can't read much Japanese so navigating a program I am also unfamiliar with is a bit beyond my capabilities. I would really appreciate any help with this, and please let me know if I can provide more useful information.

In meantime you could try to edit manually wx settings file. It should be located in your user home folder, appdata/grass version/wx (those are hidden folders - just search around for proper folder name, file is called "wx"). Open that wx file with an text editor (notepad), find line starting with "language" and replace it with:

language;locale;lc_all;C

Report back success or failure.
