kde screenshot

[Alain PORTAL]

Hi,

I should want to know if it is possible to create screenshots of a kde program 
in an other language than the default installed?

Regards,
Alain

Are you asking if it's possible because you'd like to do it but don't
know if it can be done.  Or are you asking because you'd like to see
someone post a screenshot in another language?

The answer to the first is yes, it can be done.  You can use the Gimp
to do a screen capture.

If you are asking to have someone post such screenshots, someone else
will have to help you there.

It seems to me that I didn't ask the good question ;-)
I know how to make a screenshot.

As I'm french, my KDE default language is french of course.
I want to be able to run a kde program (that I'm currently developing) in an 
other language to make a screenshot of this application for the documentation 
in all languages provided by the application.

Regards,
Alain

This is how I make all my screenshots.
The screenshot isn't the problem, the problem is the language

No, because there is no german translation ;-)
I try LANG=C to get the english version, but don't work.
But perhaps something like en_GB.UTF-8 can work ?

close, try:
$ KDE_LANG=en kde_app
or
$ KDE_LANG=en_US kde_app
(leave off .*)

KDE_LANG=en_US kde_app works !
To take the default language of the application;

Thank Rex!

You're welcome.

Now, still on my TODO is to stuff this kind of trick into kde so that it
will automatically inherit it's language from $LANG
(and/or /etc/sysconfig/i18n).

I think it's a good idea.
I'm the french man pages maintener, and every french page are ended with a 
section like "This is a translation that can be no updated. For an original 
update man page, do "LANG=C man the_man_page"."

Your sincerely,
Alain

Please: $LANG in preference. Can someone explain why KDE apps don't do
this already, instead using $KDE_LANG? It seems... strange.

A happy French-guy is a happy guy indeed! I'm happy that you are happy,
and I'm sure Rex is happy as a warm puppy as well! It's great when the
list comes through. Namaskar, Ric

That doesn't work -- KDE ignores locale. You have to switch whole 
KDE to the langauge you want (you don't have to restart whole KDE 
session, just the application in question).
