I have got English interface in inkscape 0.42 from autopackage. My locale is fine and is used by gimp & friends. The problem seems to be here:
open("/usr/local/share/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/inkscape.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/local/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/inkscape.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
while autopackage puts the ".mo" here: /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/inkscape.mo
Is it my distro (PLD Linux) problem, autopackage or inkscape's problem?
The problem gets fixed when I put .mo to right directory.
Certainly not your distro but I don't know enough about autopackage to say which of the others.
This warrants a bug report, could you please file one?
Thanks for your detailed analysis, ralf
