I've got an\nEnglish installation of Windows 7 but setting LANG=sv before starting\ngit gui or gitk causes the program to show what looks like Swedish\nlabels and menus.\n\nIf you fire up wish on its own (it is installed with msys Git) and\nenter 'package require msgcat; msgcat::mclocale' in the console window\nit should be showing something other than 'en' if your Windows\ninstallation is non-English. There might be a bug for the Tcl people\nhere (comp.lang.tcl or the sourceforge bug tracker).\n\n-- \nPat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/\nPGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD\n"},{"id":"116635","messageId":"877hz80ye3.fsf@users.sourceforge.net","threadId":"19852","inReplyTo":"87fxdw0zin.fsf@users.sourceforge.net","subject":"Re: Windows 7 and git-gui/gitk language","fromName":"Pat Thoyts","fromEmail":"patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net","sentAt":"2009-06-19T20:19:48Z","receivedAt":"2009-06-19T20:19:48Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/30739?v=4"},"body":"Pat Thoyts writes:\n\n>If you fire up wish on its own (it is installed with msys Git) and\n>enter 'package require msgcat; msgcat::mclocale' in the console window\n>it should be showing something other than 'en' if your Windows\n>installation is non-English.

This seems to have changed on\nWindows 7 now so the locale always gets defaulted to 'C'. I'll raise a\nbug with the tcl project and get a fix done.\n\n-- \nPat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/\nPGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD\n"},{"id":"116638","messageId":"873a9w0x9t.fsf@users.sourceforge.net","threadId":"19852","inReplyTo":"87fxdw0zin.fsf@users.sourceforge.net","subject":"Re: Windows 7 and git-gui/gitk language","fromName":"Pat Thoyts","fromEmail":"patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net","sentAt":"2009-06-19T20:43:58Z","receivedAt":"2009-06-19T20:43:58Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/30739?v=4"},"body":"Pat Thoyts writes:\n\nMore follow-up -- it is actually the registry package missing from the\nmsysGit version of tcl which causes the fault. msysGit issue 283 is\nnow raised for this.\n-- \nPat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/\nPGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD\n"}]}
