Hi,
I'm trying to find out how I can get mutt to speak French, but I'm
getting more and more confused about it. I'm sorry I didn't find much
doc about translation issues. Here's the situation:
- I have access to 2 different Unix accounts where I'm a non-privileged
user : one is running Linux, the other Solaris
- if I use the system-mutt on any of these accounts (both are 1.0),
messages are displayed in French
- I've installed Mutt 1.2.5i on both accounts (non-privileged user) from
the tarball, with minimum configure options (prefix=$HOME,
with-slang). On the Solaris box, I come up with a French-speaking mutt,
on the Linux box it sticks to English.
- I've also tried to use the --with-enable-gettext configure option
under Linux, but that doesn't change a thing.
Are there environment variables I need to set in order to have French
language used? If so, how come /usr/bin/mutt is French and ~/bin/mutt
isn't (Linux)?
Do I need to do more than ./configure; make; make install ? That's all I
had to do on the Solaris box to get a French Mutt...
FWIW, here are the versions for /usr/bin/mutt and ~/bin/mutt (under
Linux):
