If I modify the git.cmd file here on my English system to include @set LANG=fr just after the @set PLINK_PROTOCOL=ssh command, then git gui runs with French menus and selecting the view history menu item launches gitk with French menus. This is because git-gui executes a new tcl interpreter subprocess passing in the known gitk script location. So the gitk process inherits the git-gui environment (including this LANG setting). It doesn't call the gitk.cmd script on Windows. Possibly your interpreter is picking up some other locale setting. The msgcat script will use LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES or LANG (in that order) and only makes use of the first one it sees. So perhaps you have an LC_ALL set someplace - however, I would assume that would force the git-gui script to use that locale too. One quick hack would be to modify bin/gitk and after the msgcat initialization force the locale using: msgcat::mclocale en -- Pat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/ PGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
