Does gweather (gnome-applets) work for you?

[Simos Xenitellis <simos74 gmx net>]

Hi,
We (Greek Localisation Team) have some trouble getting gweather to run
on the latest build of GNOME 2.10 (-soon to be).

The application crashes as soon as it runs and the stack trace gives
little info (no debugging):

I think this looks like a problem loading the preferences, and in the
case of gweather it might be those strings like 

msgid "DEFAULT_RADAR"
msgstr ""

Since countries outside the US (and Canada?) do not have a RADAR value,
I have seen a lot of values here (like "This is not applicable", "----",
" ") and so on. It looks possible that a crash is caused because due to
unexpected input handling.
I have not managed to try myself to remove the translation altogether
(but keep LANG=el_GR.UTF-8) to see if it still happens, as I have not
installed GNOME 2.10pre...

Could someone else who has GNOME 2.10(almost there) to try out gweather
and see if it actually works for them?

Please report back your $LANG and if it works.

If possible, try different values for $LANG to help others.

Cheers,
Simos
