[Request] Language Settings #708

Closed Yaksinikos closed 1 year ago

Yaksinikos commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The deal is to let the user decide what language of those 5 speaking to use for an program.

Describe the solution you'd like Settings entry to choose the program's language.

Describe alternatives you've considered As a fallback language could be used the systems default one.

What's the use case for having the app's language ≠ system language?

Yaksinikos commented 2 years ago

E.g. my personal case, where the main pc is german, but for the parents I would like to let them some tools in russian.

Also there is the case, when the primary translation to your system language is not properly done/finished, so you would like to use a other language you can manually choose from.

Moreover, this is a general linux distros & apps issue, where you may use primary english, but some cases (e.g. the grandparents come along and you would like to let them read some texts from within a app - e.g. astrology generated text's) you cant simply change a app's language to e.g. chinese.

EDIT: yea - that cases are not widely popular - but they exist... (& yes there are solutions like creating a 2nd user with a specific language & log in to display something natively in a other language - but this is more like a crutch solution)

Thank you for the explanation. We will try to implement it asap.

Qronikarz commented 2 years ago

Sorry for bumping but I can't find that option so I guess it wasn't added.

Bottles is having my polish language set but I would like to change it to original English since it's better to find solutions and make bug reports (no need to translate it correctly yourself or search the internet for screens) if it's in that language since most people have that.

mirkobrombin commented 2 years ago

In the meantime you can start Bottles by setting the locale using env var

Fi0lek commented 2 years ago

Like @MrQuerter, I also use Polish, but in most applications I prefer to use the English version. For example, like @MrQuerter to search for solutions on the Internet.

Pozdro.

This is important for asian games and programs, where it is useful to specify locale

mirkobrombin commented 2 years ago

We already implemented this feature (Language section under System).

Report missing language codes.

Yaksinikos commented 2 years ago

Actually I spoke about the Bottles-UI not only the wine-instances (bottles itself) ... 😆

mirkobrombin commented 2 years ago

So forcing a different system-lang in Bottles?

silriozs commented 2 years ago

We already implemented this feature (Language section under System).

Report missing language codes.

Need following languages: ja_JP Japanese zh_TW Chinese (Traditional) ko_KR Korean

It would be better if user can edit the language list from UI or some config files instead of hardcoding the language options.

Which variable are you modifying when it comes to locale in bottles? I know that for a lot of visual novels LANG isn't enough and it actually requires LC_ALL

Is it implemented? How can I configure it in GUI?
