Hi,
with the latest Pd version, Pd uses the system language as standard. The
thing is, I want to keep my Pd in english. How is it possible to set the
language when starting Pd?
Where can suggestions to the language be sent?
Best,
João
The easiest way is to start it in the Terminal like this:
GNU/Linux: LANG=en pd-extended Mac OS X: LANG=en /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd Windows (in cmd.exe): set LANG=en "%ProgramFiles%\pd\bin\pd"
If you want to force English, you can also delete the .msg files in the pd/po folder.

i think this should be handled by the OS. also there are apps for that: http://www.tj-hd.co.uk/languageswitcher

I have visited this problem some time ago, and these were my (more or less accurate) findings:
- There are language strings in the C code as well as in Tcl
- In Tcl there is a straightforward way to redefine the language, but I
haven't found a way to change the actual strings on the display without having to restart Pd
- I have no idea how it goes on the C side :)
- My impression is that this may go beyond the scope of a plugin

Since Tcl handles all of the changing of English strings to the chosen language, it is theoritically possible to do in a plugin. The key problem is that the translations are loaded (load_locale in pd-gui.tcl) before the plugins and Tcl's msgcat, the library for the translations, provides mcload, but no mkunload.

To be exact, not even mcunload would be necessary, just a way to reload strings according to the new locale. Unfortunately, this functionality is missing from TCL (there are some feature requests in the tracker that target it, though). So, to effectively change the GUI language, Pd needs to be restarted. Do we wish to have a language selection option in the preferences, which writes its setting somewhere on the disk, and then load_locale would be changed in a way that it takes a look at the saved setting before defaulting to the OS/env language? (my vote is: no)

There are GUI strings in the C code, but in order for you to see them, they are sent to pd-gui, the Tcl process. If you're running in -nogui mode, there will be no translations since all the translations are handled in Tcl.

That would be possible. I would be willing to accept such a patch if it was well tested but I'm not going to write it :)

Ah! BTW, would it take much to have gettext working on the C side too?

Well I shall not take on more things (but to carry on with things that I've already started), but... :) This stuff would actually be another driver for me to dive into the prefs system... and eventually evolve that a bit, too*.
- right now the guiprefs system is geared towards the recentfiles list, and
it might need some mods to serve other purposes as well.

i think, the pd-core should be blissfully unaware of all translations. all the interface is done via the GUI, so everything that is "presentational" should be handled exclusively via the GUI (based on information it get's from the core).
if you want to run Pd without GUI and still have translations available (e.g. of the File-Menu :-)), they could run the output of Pd through a filter that uses the po files to translate.
but the DSP-core should not be bothered by those things.
