Yes - but using that hack only enables it for wesnoth; which is a bad thing IMHO. If someone really wants to use a language one shouldn't be lured into "well, then I only have it in this or that application" but rather should properly enable it in the system. I've talked with upstream about this a while ago and we thought about another approach: The languages that aren't enabled in the system will get greyed out and not selectable. This though needs a bit until it gets implemented. > I did this in Ubuntu [1] [2] and it worked fine, there have been no reports > about anything broken or something. It works fine - for wesnoth only. I am not really convinced that enabling this hack in the wesnoth package is the right approach, I am pretty much for telling the users to enable the locales they want to use systemwide, not narrow themself down to a single application. > If this is harmless it would be nice to enable it, since there are users which > will want to play wesnoth in a different language than the one they installed > the system (this happened to me when trying to play in Spanish, since my > system > is in English). There is no problem at all with enabling spanish locales next to english ones, too. Thanks for your report anyway, it's appreciated. It's just - in this point we propably disagree. But don't let this hold you back with further reports along these lines. So long, Rhonda -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
