Description of problem: I installed my system from a rawhide iso earlier in the cycle and didn't choose a different language at the time. After the install was finished I chose Norwegian in the gdm login dialog, and later still I changed the system language with system-config-language. I still can't get the gdm greeter to show anything but english though. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Turns out that gdm simply does not have a Norwegian translation... This shoud be handled upstream.
But of course it does: [kmaraas@rivendell gdm2]$ rpm -ql gdm | grep nb /usr/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/gdm.mo I should know, I put it there in the first place. No idea why gdm doesn't pick it up in rawhide though. As I said on IRC, if I run /usr/libexec/gdmgreeter directly I get norwegian text (with DOING_GDM_DEVELOPMENT=1 set)
