Hi,<br>
Choosing language as English(India) during the install process makes<br>
en_IN the default locale of the system.But this causes the gtk1 using<br>
applications not to show their menu eg. audaciity,xmms (<br>

Changing the locale to en_US solves this problem somehow. Also noticed<br>
there was no .UTF-8 for en_IN when listing the locales using locale -a<br>
. So generating the en_IN.UTF-8 locale and making it the default,<br>
solves the gtk1 bug plus other irritants.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Can you please explain how you "generated the en_IN.UTF-8 locale?" Thanks!<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
So my questions are,<br>
a) what is the difference between en_IN and en_IN.UTF-8?<br>
b) why cant en_IN.UTF-8 be the default locale when selecting English<br>
(India) as the preferred language?<br>
<br>
I have noticed this behaviour in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 , and no other<br>
language packs have been installed.<br>
Can some one check this out in 8.04?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Just to reiterate - this would be a really nice bug to have fixed - I remember this problem popping up some years ago and not having any clue on how to deal with it back then and just cursing Ubuntu -- one doesn't think highly of an operating system when new programs you install show up without any text in their menus or buttons:-(. This seems to be a problem fairly specific to using the en_IN locale, which is, of course, the default locale most people from India end up with. Would be really nice if fixed. (I do believe, though, that applications using gtk2+ have this fixed - I'm fairly certain the new Audacity on the repository has this issue fixed, though not a 100% sure, and XMMS definitely does not have it fixed... )<br>
</div><div><br>Thanks for bringing this up - and happy coincedence - I was just dealing with the exact same problem :-)<br><br>-Sanjay<br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
