[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#608723: josm: LC_CTYPE decides language used for user interface

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: josm
Version: 0.0.svn3376-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

When I start josm, the interface uses Japanese by defautl even though
only LC_CTYPE is set to a Japanese locale:

$ locale
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

locale(7) states that LC_MESSAGES should decide which language messages
are displayed in, not LC_CTYPE.

Regards,
Ansgar
