There is no net-mail/claws-mail, please check whether the category is right and attach the complete build log. If it is from an overlay, please mention which overlay this is from. Thank you in advance.

Obviously this was a typo. Currently I am trying to find a Mail solution that fits my needs, and when writing this report I was dealing with several packages in net-mail.
claws-mail is installed from Gentoo Portage tree (no repo/overlay/...).
I also attached the build log.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-03-04 09:24:46 UTC
is this the case with 3.13.2?

(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4)
> is this the case with 3.13.2?

Yes (at least for me).

This can be easily tested by anyone by either setting LC_MESSAGES on startup or merely inspecting /usr/share/locale, the ebuild installs nothing to that directory.
Comment 6 Bodo Graumann 2016-03-14 22:58:12 UTC
I have the same issue (no more translation into german).
Curiously though, everything was fine with claws-mail-3.9.0, while now that I updated to claws-mail-3.13.2 the bug occurs.
Comment 7 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-07-21 08:02:21 UTC
# qlist -Ce claws-mail | grep locale
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/claws-mail.mo

I never had this issue with any claws-mail installation since version 3.9.x

Is this still an issue with any of the current claws-mail ebuilds?
Comment 8 Bodo Graumann 2017-07-21 08:43:28 UTC
Yes, I just recently reinstalled version 3.13.2 and still the german locale is missing.
When I run the qlist command you provided, it returns no results.

I must admit, that I am using paludis. As it used to work, I thought that was not relevant, but now I see that Franz also uses paludis.
Looking at the ebuild I don't see any explicit mentioning of locales. So maybe this is caused by different handling of environment variables between portage and paludisā‰
Comment 9 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2022-07-10 13:00:55 UTC
Closing this bug, paludis was last-rited in 2018 and AFAIK is not compatible with Gentoo anymore. Don't hesitate to reopen if issue still happens with a supported package manager (probably ony portage at that point?)
