This may sound stupid, but how can I change the application language of PoL itself?

In my case, the language of PoL differs from the system language.

What's the language in POL ?

PoL is in German.

And what's your system language ? You're probably having one of your system settings set in German

In fact, the only installed language is English, though I use German for regional formats such as time and paper format as well as the keyboard layout. But to my knowledge those settings should not affect the application language? PoL is the only program where this problem occurs.

Probably one of the LANG settings that POL read and shouldn't use. I'll see what I can do

No problem.

LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"

I think we use LC_ALL... Need to check that

I think you are correct. I just set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and PoL started in English. I don't know the precise meaning of the locales, but in terms of language maybe LANG should be used instead?
Tutul Thursday 22 November 2018 at 14:22

yea, LC_ALL is used for troubleshooting but override all the other. I'm not sure if POL use LANG, but detect anr respect the override. I'll see that with the team

Thank you very much!

The workaround would be to start PoL using a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

After further reading, I'm not sure LC_ALL should be set to something. On my system, it's blank so I'm not sure why yours is set

According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale, LC_ALL overrides individual LC_* settings, it is probably just a short way to define the other LC_* settings.

It should not conflict with LANG, however.

LANG is just the default value for LC_*

so if LC_ALL is set, it override all LC_* value (LANG is just here to put his value in unspecified LC_* )
