Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-menus
When the LANGUAGE environment variable is set to a different language
code than what is specified in LANG or LC_MESSSAGES, LANGUAGE should be
preferred. gnome-menus only takes LC_MESSAGES into account.
Test case:
LANG = de_DE.utf8
LANGUAGE = en_US:en
Expected result: the menus are displayed in English.
Actual result: The top layer of the mneus (Applications, Places, System) is
displayed in English, all the subsequent entries are displayed in German.
When grepping the code for 'locale', I found this snippet in libmenu
/entry-directories.c:
locale = g_strdup (setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, NULL));
if (locale == NULL)
{
menu_verbose ("cached_dir_load_entries_from_cache_file(): setlocale()
failed, aborting\n");
return FALSE;
}
/* canonicalize .UTF-8 to .utf8 (only happens at end of string) */
s = strstr (locale, ".UTF-8");
if (s != NULL)
strcpy (s, ".utf8");
g_snprintf (cache_file, sizeof(cache_file), "%s/desktop.%s.cache", dirname,
locale);
g_free (locale);
I think this should be modified to something like this:
if LANGUAGE is set, get the value; split the language codes by the ':'
delimiter, try if dirname/desktop.languagecode.cache is present, if not try the
next language code; else try LC_MESSAGES.
Not sure if anything else needs to be modified though.
