Dear Users,
I would like to change the language of lyx's interface from English to
Hebrew (I need to check a new he.po) in LyX1.5 that I compiled.
However when I use the LANG or the LC_MESSAGES variable the only
result is a change in the language of the help files. I tried to
launch LyX in other languages beside Hebrew but it didn't work either.
I would like to mention that when I try the same thing with an
installed LyX 1.4 I can change LyX's language to German for example
but I can't change it to Hebrew.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Assuming you use linux - is your linux set up to support the hebrew locale?
My linux is set up for nrwegian and english only. So those works, but
if I try
export LANG=de_DE ; lyx
then I get english menus and german help files. This because
I haven't installed german locale support for my distro (debian),
and so "Locale de_DE could not be set".
Looks like it doesn't matter if lyx comes with support for some language,
if the distro (c-library?) itself does not allow that language to be set.
With debian, use
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Other distros have similiar ways of setting up language support.
