Hi,
I updated now to version 1.5.8 and it seems to run fine. Only the OSD is english and I cannot change it to german. I checked the logfile and found: Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] ERROR: /usr/local/share/vdr/locale: No such file or directory Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'deu,ger' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'slv,slo' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'ita' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'dut,nla,nld' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'por' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'fra,fre' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'nor' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'fin,smi' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'pol' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'esl,spa' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'ell,gre' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'sve,swe' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'rom,rum' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'hun' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'cat,cln' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'rus' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'hrv' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'est' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'dan' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'cze,ces' Aug 20 12:51:41 localhost vdr: [28820] no locale for language code 'tur'
I hope it is not necessary to install vdr, because I held my versions under /usr/local/video and make their symlinks, so I can easily change my versions.
I tried the following line WRAPPER="LC_COLLATE=de_DE" with runvdr from Udo Richter but no success.
How can I set OSD to german again?
Best regards, Matthias
kkkkHi, I had the same problem and Klaus helped me very fast!!

Post the output of locale -a. You may need to install missing locales, check your distribution on how to.

That shouldn't be necessary with 1.5.8: I only have 3 locales installed but I can select all languages from the osd setup menu (and see the corresponding translations).

hm, that is strange. I have here a vanilla VDR (with some plugins but the sourcecode of VDR is not touched)
I compiled it with: make REMOTE=LIRC VFAT=1 NO_KBD=1
But I am not able to select different languages in the menu.

Could you try what these commands print in VDR source directory: TEXTDOMAINDIR=./locale TEXTDOMAIN=vdr LANGUAGE=de_DE gettext -s \ 'LanguageName$English' TEXTDOMAINDIR=./locale TEXTDOMAIN=vdr LANGUAGE=de gettext -s \ 'LanguageName$English' TEXTDOMAINDIR=./locale TEXTDOMAIN=vdr LANGUAGE=de_XYZ gettext -s \ 'LanguageName$English'

Same here, so that is not it.
Does locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/vdr.mo exist in VDR directory?
What distro?
Does the localization work in other programs, like "ls --help" and so on?
Hello Anssi,

yes it exists: 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18013 Aug 20 14:47 vdr.mo
What distro?
gentoo

yes, LANG=de_DE ls --help gives german help and ls --help gives english help.

And when using LANGUAGE=de_DE instead of LANG=de_DE?

Well it seems your problem is not vdr related.
regarding to the gettext documentation the environment variable LANGUAGE does not exist (version 0.16).

Hallo, Under Debian I have locale LANG=de_DE@euro LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE@euro" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL=
I don't know howto set this under gento. You can try to insert export LANG=de_DE@euro into your profile file /etc/profile. HTH. Halim

What is the output of "locale"?
Hi Anssi,

it says: LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL=
I checked the manpage of locale and it says that I can set the following variables: LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES NLSPATH
I checked then the homepage of gettext and it says: "Then, users only have to set the LANG environment variable to the appropriate `ll_CC' combination prior to using the programs in the package. See Matrix. For example, let's presume a German site. At the shell prompt, users merely have to execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in csh) or `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in sh). They could even do this from their .login or .profile file."
see here: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#End-Users
I checked also the version of gettext and it seems that the current version of gettext is 0.16 which I have installed.
Are you using an older version of gettext?

LANGUAGE variable that VDR uses is ignored when LC_MESSAGES or LC_ALL is set to "POSIX" or "C".

I don't really "want" anything in particular here ;-)
All I want is that the gettext() calls deliver the right texts.

my it is some your your ToDo list. - Fix the problem that a user cannot select a language in VDR if no LANG is defined on the shell - or put a node in the INSTALL file that LANG must be defined in the shell before starting VDR
Thx Klaus for that software, I cannot think to live without it.

AFAICS that is only needed if the user locale settings are set to "C", "POSIX" or invalid values.
This behaviour was added to glibc in 2001, likely to fix something else. http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/intl/dcigettext.c.diff?r1=...
I've contacted the committer about our issue. If I get no reply, I'll raise it in libc-alpha ml.

ok that I think is the right way, thx a lot. The problem for me is fixed now but maybe we should add a small note in the INSTALL file that the environment variable LANG must be set before starting VDR to a valid value.

I think this is useful for all apps which should give you localized output. So it's not a vdr problem. Under Debian the lang variable is set through the locale setup.
If I write unset $LANG all apps are producing english output.

yes that is excatly what VDR also does but if I have not defined LANG then I'm not able to select another language in the OSD of VDR and that is the issue I tried to address. Everything else is fine.
