fr_latin_1
6. Start gnome with startx
7. Press the "Foot Menu"
    --> Everything in this first part is not with a good traduction

Just a notice.

hp - will you check to see that all of the po files from the Europe office were
applied - if there is missing translation we need to let Federico know.

I ve just noticed this :

When starting with GDM the foot menu is in french and in a terminal doing
env|grep LANG give 
LANG=fr_FR@euro
GDM_LANG=fr_FR

When starting with XDM the foot menu is not in french and in a terminal doing
env|grep LANG give 
LANG=fr_FR@euro

When starting with startx the foot menu is not in french and LANG=fr_FR@euro

But doing GDM_LANG=fr_FR and startx the foot menu is in french (LANG=fr_FR@euro
and GDM_LANG=fr_FR)

Another notice doing LANG=fr_FR and startx the foot menu is in french
(LANG=fr_FR)

Hope this could help....

Duplicate of the @euro bug assigned to installer earlier today...

Comment 4 Matt Wilson 2001-08-09 23:15:32 EDT
