Here's mine: $ locale LANG=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8" LC_TIME="C.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="C.UTF-8" LC_NAME="C.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="C.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="C.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="C.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ > > On my current 2.23.0 installation from lilypond.org package, I see this: > > > > $ ls .local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ > > fonts ly ps python scm vim > > > > Locale files are in another directory: > > > > $ ls .local/lilypond/usr/share/ > > bash-completion emacs fontconfig gdb ghostscript glib-2.0 guile > > lilypond locale xml > > > > $ ls .local/lilypond/usr/share/locale/ > > af az bs de en@quot fa he is ko mk > > nds or ro sq te ug zh_CN > > am be ca dz en@shaw fi hi it ku ml ne > > pa ru sr tg uk zh_HK > > an be@latin ca@valencia el eo fr hr ja lt mn nl > > pl rw sr@ije th vi zh_TW > > ar bg cs en@boldquot es ga hu ka lv mr nn > > ps si sr@latin tl wa > > as bn cy en_CA et gl hy kk mai ms no > > pt sk sv tr xh > > ast bn_IN da en_GB eu gu id kn mg nb oc > > pt_BR sl ta tt yi > > > > > Interesting. Neither directory exists on my system (Archlinux official > package installation). Instead I have a bunch of > /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/lilypond.mo > for various locales. Same here for my Debian system. But that's because we are looking at the locale files for the system, including an "official" installation of lilypond. My /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/ directory contains 123 files for a variety of programs. If you install lilypond with a downloaded file from the LilyPond website, you'd typically install it somewhere under your home directory. So I also have ~/lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64/ containing version 2.22, and its locale files are in ~/lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64/lilypond/usr/share/locale/. $ ls ~/lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64/lilypond/usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/ flex.mo gettext-runtime.mo gettext-tools.mo glib20.mo lilypond.mo $ The reason I don't use a bare ~/.local directory myself is because of having multiple versions: $ ls -d1 lilypond*/ lilypond-2.18.2-1.linux-64/ lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64/ lilypond-2.21.0-1.linux-64/ lilypond-2.21.80-1.linux-64/ lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64/ $ Cheers, David.
