Description Simone Scanzoni 2008-10-20 16:59:54 UTC
From the Language & Font menu, selecting International Fonts, the only available language is English.
I noticed that blender-2.37-dirs.patch makes blender look for the .Blanguages file in a different path from where the ebuild installs it, and changing the patch accordingly solved the problem.
I suppose the problem affects the previous versions too, so I'll attach the corrected patch.

Simone, the patch seems to remove the capability for users to have their own internationalization data.  I'm not sure if it would be possible to allow both?

With the patch in the tree the users have neither their own internationalization nor the system-wide.

Perhaps a solution would be to remove that patch and make /usr/bin/blender a script that checks for the presence of .blender/ in the user's home directory, copies the data there if it's not present and runs the binary.

I just made the smallest change that makes blender's internationalization work out-of-the-box.

thanks for the report and patch, the patch/path is fixed in cvs.
