Upstream thread confirming the issue (Japanese and German locales are mentioned), though no solution is offered. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/278820/focus=278846 the gmane link is broken. Could you please test again with a current git version? I believe this ticket is obsolete, if the problem persists, please reopen |
$ LANG=en_US.utf8 gitk ← works $ LANG=en_US.utf8 gitk --all HEAD ← works $ LANG=fr_FR.utf8 gitk ← works $ LANG=fr_FR.utf8 gitk --all HEAD ← fails with: Error in startup script: bad menu entry index "Éditer la vue..." while executing ".bar.view entryconf [mca "Edit view..."] -state normal" invoked from within "if {$cmdline_files ne {} || $revtreeargs ne {} || $revtreeargscmd ne {}} { # create a view for the files/dirs specified on the command line se..." (file "/usr/bin/gitk" line 12442) The string "Éditer la vue..." is a translation for the "Edit view" entry in the "Edit" menu. Looking into it, I also noticed that, even when gitk launches correctly with a French locale, barely half of the buttons and menus are translated. Reproducible: Always
