Pas de langue française dans Gramps 6 installé depuis Flatpak

International French
4

From Perplexity.ai :

The command flatpak info org.gramps_project.Gramps.Locale will list all locales included in the Gramps Flatpak package. Specifically, it will display the subdirectories (e.g., /en, /fr, etc.) that indicate which language data is available for the application. This allows you to verify whether the French locale (/fr) is included.

To check if the Gramps Flatpak includes the French locale:

Run the following command:

bash

flatpak info org.gramps_project.Gramps.Locale

Example Output:

The output might look like this:

text

ID: org.gramps_project.Gramps.Locale
Ref: runtime/org.gramps_project.Gramps.Locale/x86_64/stable
Arch: x86_64
Branch: stable
Origin: flathub
Collection: org.flathub.Stable
Installation: system
Installed: 120 kB
Commit: <commit-hash>
Parent: <parent-commit>
Subject: Update Gramps to latest release
Date: <date>
Subdirectories: /en,/fr,/de,/es

Here, the Subdirectories field lists all available locales. If /fr is present, it means the French locale is included.

Additional Notes:

  • If /fr is missing, it could indicate that the Flatpak build did not include French localization files. This might be due to a misconfiguration during packaging (e.g., not enabling separate-locales: false in the Flatpak manifest).
  • If /fr is present but the application does not display in French, ensure your system’s locale settings are correct (e.g., LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8) and that Flatpak is configured to prioritize French with:

bash

flatpak config --set languages 'fr;en'
