Re: How to test local language for a GNOME 2 app?

[Juan Carlos Castro y Castro <jcastro vialink com br>]

No go. :( Still English. I have the file
/usr/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/pan.mo -- could it have been
generated wrong? Or maybe there is another environment variable like
LC_ALL?

I even tried "LANGUAGE=pt_BR LANG=pt_BR LC_ALL=pt_BR pan". Nothing.
