This is my first post here, but I am a long-time user of Gramps, mainly on Windows. However, I am now trying to leave Windows behind and migrating to Ubuntu as best I can. I have always operated my OSes in UK English, but I have a need to run Gramps in Danish too. In Windows I could do this with a …

This is a bit of a guess, but it looks like it, that if you run Gramps in a flatpak, you also need the flatpak version of the Danish language pack. And since you’re on Ubuntu, you can just as well install the Debian package from here: https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Download The ver…

So Now I got the reply button. Thanks! You need to install the gnome language packs for danish: language-pack-gnome-da language-pack-gnome-da-base The sorting issues I have noticed for some time, but since it wasn’t important for med, I haven’t done anything. Now I have created a mantis ticket …

Thank you very much to ennoborg, kmikkels and emyoulation. Your contributions have more or less solved my problems. I can now run Gramps from a terminal window with proper sorting order and spell checking in Danish. I first checked the language packs and spell packs that kmikkels suggested by tryin…

Glad it is working. Apparently there are differences between the spell checkers in ubuntu and mint. I would never had guessed that

Interesting that sorting is working for you, it doesn’t work for me. Again probaly differences between ubuntu and mint

[image] kmikkels: Done - please let me know if you want it to be more elaborate I was hoping for a dansk language version for this section. (But I love having an english-version as a reference document for other languages.)
