I discovered this in Debian Edu Squeeze after installing with
Norwegian Bokmål as the installation language.  When starting tuxtype
from the KDE menu, the language displayed was English.  I expected it
to be Norwegian Bokmål, which I found as one language option in the
options menu.

When the program was started, the environment variable LANG was set to
nb_NO.UTF-8, and the LANGUAGE variable was set to
nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:da:sv.

Please change tuxtype to set the default language to Norwegian Bokmål
when it is started with these environment variables.

Happy hacking,

Yes, this a big problem for kids who don't speak English to search
mother language from Menu.
I'm so sad: nothing happened since 2010, when Petter Reinholdtsen
reported this issue.
No problem for tuxmath.

Hi Alexey,

thanks *a lot* for your work on providing patches to tuxtype and tuxmath, this
is much appreciated, even though I haven't found the time yet to prepare new
packages and upload them.

(Lots of traveling the last two weeks, I hope to get the uploads done soon
now. Might still take til the end of the months...)

Thanks again!


cheers,
	Holger
