Description of problem: Language is not changed when I use system-config-language for language setting. Only thing I can see translated is gdm, nothing else. I thing that this tool is obsolete by gnome-control-center. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-language-1.3.5-10.fc17.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run system-config-language 2. Choose some language 3. Log out 4. Log in Actual results: gdm is in chosen language but system is still in default. Expected results: I propose to get rid of this tool as we have gnome-control-center, so this tool is no more needed Additional info: I propose this as blocker bug per criterion: Menu sanity - the following criteria refer to both a live image and default installed system, and to all release-blocking desktops - All applications listed under the Applications menu or category must withstand a basic functionality test and not crash after a few minutes of normal use. They must also have working Help and Help -> About menu items
I'm not sure this is correct. s-c-l should set system-wide settings, gnome-control-center should set it within GNOME. it would be best to check with the l10n/i18n experts before deciding tools are useless/not working. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Looks like you are right and I failed. My fault. The thing which confused me is that it says: "The changes will take effect the next time you log in." when you set another language. Maybe this should be amended.
s-c-language application is setting locale/language for system, not for user. But Message "The changes will take effect the next time you log in" can be improved.
Hi Aman, you mean changing message?
That seems reasonable. Also I'd like to mention, that the changes shows after reboot, not log out.
Yeah, very valid point i agree.
Discussed at 2012-05-03 blocker review meeting. This obviously isn't serious enough to be a blocker. The tool works as intended. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Ok i will change the message "The changes will take effect after reboot" let me know by tomorrow if any more suggestions.
