Trying to switch GRASS into 'fr'... Failed to enforce user specified language 'fr' with error: 'unsupported locale setting' A LANGUAGE environmental variable has been set. Part of messages will be displayed in the requested language. }}} Tracing back what happens I see that when the user sets a language preference in the wx gui, this preference is stored in the .grass7/wx file as the two-letter language code ('fr' for French in this case). The locale checking and setting magic in set_language() in the grass7 startup script uses (among others): {{{ encoding = 'UTF-8' normalized = locale.normalize('%s.%s' % (language, encoding)) locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, normalized) }}} However, locale.normalize in this case transforms fr into fr_FR, whereas on my machine the only installed locale is fr_BE. Now I can just install fr_FR and the message goes away, and even with the message, GRASS seems to work ok, so this is not a major issue. However, it might throw off some users to see this message every time they start GRASS." defect closed minor 7.0.5 Startup svn-trunk wontfix locale Unspecified Unspecified
