Wrong language, unable to change to Italian

[Dolomites]

I installed Pinta on OSX Italian version, and Pinta appears in English. I tried also to overwrite the Italian files, also in EN folder, but with no results.

Are you using Pinta 2.0?
I believe it should be following the system language & region settings

[Dolomites (dolomites81)]

2.0.2, the latest available

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Thanks, would you be able to attach a screenshot of what your Language & Region settings are in the system preferences?

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Thanks!
Yeah this is weird, I can get Pinta to use the correct language when launching from a terminal, but it doesn't work from Finder even after restarting
Running `env LANG=it open /Applications/Pinta.app` also works if the system language is set to something else.

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Ah, I think it might be that the terminal by default set the LANG variable based on the system language setting

[Dolomites (dolomites81)]

Is there a way to change manually?

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

yeah, you would just need to have the 'LANG' environment variable set to 'it'

[Dolomites (dolomites81)]

Where? Library?

If you don't want to launch pinta from a terminal, steps like https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/424695 could be used to set the LANG environment variable globally might work (and may require a reboot after to take effect)

Same problem here (macOS Ventura). The language is ignared, english is used as default unlike all other apps, from command line it works, but there is no way to create a graphical starter without loosing the language. /apple.stackexchange.com/a/424695 does not help.

I have the same problem.

I've installed Pinta v2.1.1 on macOS Monterey (12.6) using Homebrew :

% brew info pinta | gawk -F"[/ ]" '/usr/{print $(NF-1)}'
2.1.1
% locale | grep LANG
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
%

When I click on the /Applications/Pinta.app icon, it launches Pinta in english instead of french.

But when I type this from a ZSH Shell, Pinta starts in French (as expected)

% open -a pinta
%

I tested:
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"; ./Pinta
on Pinta 2.2-dev latest master on Ubuntu 23.10 and I can't reproduce. Pinta starts in French.

This may be fixed or it is macOS specific problem.

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

I think it's still valid - the issue seems to be more with launching Pinta graphically (not from the terminal), where the LANG variable is not set. It seems like dotnet is not picking up the system language setting correctly.
