in the make.conf I have LINGUAS="en ru ja" and USE="nls" When I perform emerge acroread the package is installed in japanese language. While it is only the third of three in the LINGUAS and main system language is english. I can overcome this problem inserting app-text/acroread -nls in the keyword file or using LINGUAS="-ja" emerge acroread However I think it's not a clever idea to do something what must be done automatically. Moreover, I am not sure that in both these cases the support of japanese documents is installed (what is critical to me). Looking at the correspondent ebuild file (/usr/portage/app-text/acroread/acroread-7.0.8.ebuild) I have noticed that incerting "en" to the LINS variable and "enu" to the SRCS variable solves the problem. Therefore the strings in the following form looks more adequate to me: LINS=("en" "de" "fr" "ja" "ko" "zh_CN" "zh_TW") SRCS=("enu" "deu" "fra" "jpn" "kor" "chs" "cht") So can you do these changes in the official ebuild? Or there are some reasons why it is done like this? Thanks in advance, Anton.
Most people have set LINGUAS="fr en" for example - with en being the last language. That is why the ebuild relies on use -nls for people that do not want it in their local language. Sorry but I do not have intentions to change it at this point - I would if you could make a perfect ebuild that can install both languages. It has been noted in another bug that it is possible to do so
