Application language is suddenly French!

Thu, Dec 22, 2016 4:30 AM

I use openSCAD intermittently.

It has been a couple of months I think since I launched the application on
my Mac.

When I launched it today, the whole interface is in French!
When I installed and used it previously, this wasn't the case.

I also can't find any way to change the language. There seem to be no
settings in preferences. Although I am only guessing at this point, since
it's in French.

I don't know if the application autoupdated in the interval, or because I
upgraded OS X to the latest version recently, some settings got dinged.

Do I need to wipe and reinstall it?

Seems to be caused by latest macOS.

No, that will not help, see

ciao,

I had the same problem,and I found a way to get around. I opened the app content, located the executable,created a link to the app with an icon on my desktop. Now, when I double click on the icon, that open a terminal that launch the app with the proper settings. It is a bit of a nuisance but it works with the proper localisation.I hope that the developer who create the OS X app will find a way to fix it.Jean-Paul N1JPL

So far it's not clear why and how Apple broke it. There are some
hints but it does not seem to add up yet.
At this point it's not really clear if we can do much about it.

ciao,
Torsten.

Thanks Guys, does seem to work when launching from command line. 
I went to the github to try to locate the issue and maybe fix it with a pull request, but I couldn't find any kind of Mac GUI repo and there doesn't seem to be anything related in the main repo.
Did I just miss the code? 
thanks much,Have a great day!A human

Yeah, it seems it's slike @bbum said on github
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1813#issuecomment-255613804
Apple simply does not setup a unix like environment for the
apps anymore.

I went to the github to try to locate the issue and maybe
fix it with a pull request, but I couldn't find any kind
of Mac GUI repo and there doesn't seem to be anything related
in the main repo.

We use gettext for translation (not the localization features
Qt brings) which basically relies on the UNIX style environment
with variables like LANG.
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/master/src/openscad.cc#L191
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Setting-the-POSIX-Locale

The current assumption is that this is the reason for the
unwanted behavior. As mentioned in the github issue we first
need to verify that's the case, but it sounds quite likely.

There's only a small amount of platform specific code, all
going though the PlatformUtils functions.

I guess we need something like

a) find out how to gather the needed information via NSLocale
and maybe map it to values gettext understands

b) add macOS code to src/PlatformUtils-mac.mm and stub out or
implement this for the other platforms

ciao,
Torsten.

This makes me very glad, that I have resisted going to Sierra. I am still
on El Capitan.

I don’t think this should be hard to fix. The primary roadblock (for me) is to be able to reproduce it. I’m not quite ready to upgrade my main laptop to Sierra and I still haven’t succeeded in running Sierra in a VM. If anyone got a VM working I’d be interesting in giving it a shot.
