If yes, maybe gimp errornously installs its locale files somewhere else (and doesn'T find it anymore). > That can't be good.

Well: *cerebro:~# ll /usr/app/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105113 Nov 23 02:11 gimp.mo (that's when I last typed "make install"). But, not surprisingly, LANG=fr gives me a (sparsely translated) french gimp menu. > I don't believe that's true ... OK > Is there something I need to do to get gimp to be localized? Thanks, In theory (and in pratcise on my machine) all you need to do is "LANG=fr gimp". This also happens to work on many machines, but it also does not work on many others. What does gettext --version (and locale --version) say on your system?
