I just installed gitg from the Windows binaries on a Windows 7 machine. Even though the machine's display language is set to English, the interface for gitg displays in German locale. I've looked in settings (Einstellungen) but there doesn't seem to be a particular setting related to language.

My guess is that it's taking the locale from Windows' Region & Language > Location > Current Location, which is indeed set to Germany. If that's the case, I would consider this a bug as this is the wrong setting to determine an app's locale (display language would be the correct setting, imo).

Does anyone know where I could fiddle with the app's internal configuration so that I can force it to display in English?

Thanks!

Not the best solution, but works for me: delete /rename the folder gitg\share\locale\de.

  • in my case, in archlinux, the file removed/renamed is `/usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/gitg.mo` – aloon Mar 18 '22 at 17:31
