→Run GRAMPS in a different language
If you want to run Gramps in a locale you did not install, things will only work partially. You first need to set a fallback which is installed, or Gramps will never start. For example, if you have nl_BE.UTF-8 installed, and want to run in Swedish, you can do:
LC_ALL=Cnl_BE.UTF-8 LANG="sv" python3 gramps
Gramps '''requires''' an UTF-8 locale to work correctly in most cases. This all assumes the Gramps translations are installed globally. If this is not the case, you need to give Gramps the directory where the translations will be found. A translation is called ''gramps.mo'', you can find it in linux with the ''locate'' command. For example, if you have Swedish in directory /home/me/gramps/mo/sv/gramps.mo, you can direct Gramps there using:
GRAMPSI18N=/home/me/gramps/mo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 LANG="sv" python3 gramps
