Could we please consolidate some of our information (some of which
may exist only in people's heads and unknown-to-me places in the code).
I understand GNUmed chose to make English the primary language, I
guess that means that the main trunk code contains English strings
for all things like menus, menu items, on-screen labels.
GNUmed is also "internationalized" which means (??) it is configured
to *support* (allow) translation?
A translation is a structured set of strings that are able to
substitute for any or all of the menus, menu items, window title bar
text, and on-screen labels (literals) for the fields and for dialog
box questions or information. (??) And where a translation is
incomplete, it need not cause any problem other than the unspecified
or incomplete portions causing the menus etc to display in the
primary language?
The public db at salaam has a
currently selected database language ('de_DE')
which does not match my current system language ('en_CA'). However I
cannot tell that choosing "Set" or "Don't set" makes any difference.
Either way, the menus all display in English as do the inbox column
headings (category, type, message) and it is only the content e.g.
"medizinish", "Dokumente durchsehen" etc that are displayed as one
would expect to be defined by the content of the data tables.
With my own local database I also have a persisting (seeming)
problem. When I log into v9 using client 0.3.2 from tarball, I am
presented the USS Enterprise warning, which I acknowledge. I am then
presented with
The currently selected language ('None') does not match the current
system language (en_CA)?
Do you want to set the database language to 'en_Ca'?
How did the currently-selected language end up to be (or remain)
"None"... is this a function of the bootstrap?
How do I set it?
If I click "Set" (to set it to 'en_CA') but it makes no difference
because the next time I log in I get the *same* dialog that the
database language is 'None' does this point to a bug? File a bug report?
Also, what is "Remember to ignore language mismatch" ... what is this
supposed to achieve, and how would it be useful?
