This would normally be handled at the system level in linux. (and I suspect windows as well, but I've never used any gnome stuff there.) Copying just meld's translation files isn't sufficient, as meld is depends on translations from the rest of the gnome system as well.

 

On linux you would typically go through the system settings/control panel (`gnome-language-selector` or something like that) options for language/locale to install and set what language you want to use system-wide, and gnome applications like meld will automatically pick that up and use the correct translations.

 

You can also override the locale for a specific application via the environment, if you want a particular app to use a different language than the rest of the system. In that case you need to make sure the language files are already installed, though...you'd need at least the `language-pack-gnome-de` package and any dependencies, maybe some others too. Then you could launch meld in german like:

LANG=de_DE.utf8 meld &

 

In addition to Andrew's suggestions above, last I checked our UI translations simply don't work on Windows, I'm sorry. I can't remember the exact issue, but I think it was something to do with us missing DLLs and not having appropriate fallback code.

 

cheers,

Kai
