Details

Description:
Gnumeric doesn’t seem to take the environment locale in account.
e.g.:
— My system is configured with french locale – fr_FR.utf8
— The GUI “speaks” C english (the main menu: File / Edit / View / etc.) instead of french ( Fichier / Édition / Vue / etc.)
— Nevertheless, functions description are in french (e.g. menu > Insert > Functions > abs)

There is only one locale file per language, i.e.:
/usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/gnumeric-functions.mo

It seems another locale file is missing.

Additional info:
* gnumeric version 1.8.4-1 (last one as I write this bug report).

* locale command output:
LANG=fr_FR.utf8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ALL=


Steps to reproduce:
— Have locale set up other than C english
— Launch gnumeric
This task depends upon

Do you have brasero installed too? See  FS#12925

No, I don’t have brasero installed.

I took a look at gnumeric source code.
There is 2 files related to locale: po-functions/$LANG.po and po/$LANG.po.
The installation (make install?) seems to take the first one in account…
It seems to be an upstream bug not arch packaging fault.

Anybody for a patch or something like that? I don’t have time/ability to do that.

Looks like an upstream problem. Debian has a fix for it apparently. I'll check this week-end.
