I have/had this problem when starting vdr not in the directory where the binary is. I used the parameter --localedir=..., but it didn't work. The default value for the locale dir is ./locale.
At the moment i am changing to the directory where the vdr binary is located and start it there.
2010/11/29 crow crow@linux.org.ba:
In my case i selected these bs_BA.UTF-8 UTF-8 bs_BA ISO-8859-2 de_AT.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_AT ISO-8859-1 de_AT@euro ISO-8859-15 en_US.UTF-8 en_US.ISO-8859-1
And did locale-gen to generate these, and all went fine. Just on VDR 1.7.16 start I see in its log this:

And no other language then English is posible to select inside OSD Settings. If i just add these more inside /etc/locale.gen de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE ISO-8859-1 de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
and do again locale-gen (which also went fine), in log is to see this:
Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] VDR version 1.7.16 started Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] switched to user 'vdr' Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] codeset is 'UTF-8' - known Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] found 27 locales in /usr/share/locale Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] no locale for language code 'por' Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-signal.so.1.7.16
And i can select there other language then just English, even no locale for them. Is this above normal behavior or something is wrong here...
