Created attachment 786271 [details] grub fully in German on Fedora 18 Description of problem: On Fedora 18 (locale en_US.UTF-8) writing LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" into /etc/default/grub and running grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg results in an immediate, in-place translation of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg into German. At the next boot, the LANG variable is honoured also for the text below the menu entries (screenshot attached). On Fedora 19 setting LANG (or export LANG) in /etc/default/grub does not have this effect. Writing export LC_ALL in /etc/default/grub followed by grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg results in in-place translation of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg but the text below menu entries is still in English. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub2-2.00-23.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "export LANG='de_DE.UTF-8'" >> /etc/default/grub 2. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg && dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)&& reboot 3. Actual results: grub boots in English Expected results: grub is fully in German Additional info: Here is the original question https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/29548/grub2-scripts-and-locale-settings-gone/ If this is not a bug (i was not yet able to find any official grub documentation about the LANG variable), please describe a workaround.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
