Hello Tux! I'm sorry, but I guess I didn't understand what you said. You mean "it makes more sense to try to detect the language for the 1st launch", right? Because this is what Raine is doing currently, it detects the language in my OS in the first time I run the program and selects it. My request was in the opposite direction, it was to have English always set as default language in the GUI for new configurations regardless of the OS language setting. If someone wants another language in the interface to match the OS, then he/she may change it in the GUI options. So there would no longer be a language auto-detection feature...

Anyway, I tried here version 0.97.4 and some things are still broken, take a look:

1) Strings in the Portuguese translation remain untranslated:

You see that the language in my OS is now properly detected and displayed in the GUI, but some strings are still not translated, they are:

Japanese font

Autostart drivers

Background animation

Profiler mode

Are you sure these strings are translated in the Portuguese translation?

2) The language setting is broken, it will always be the one in your OS, regardless of the option you choose:

If you decide you want another language than the one automatically detected by Raine, the setting will change but the interface will remain in the OS language Raine first detected in a new configuration. In the example above, I selected "default (English)", quit the program using the Quit function and when I opened it again, it was still in Portuguese, although the language setting had changed to English.

Hopefully you'll find a way to reproduce this issue an possibly fix it.

Please let me know if you need me to try a test version to check that this issue is fixed.

Thank you so much again for your time and work.

Errr, remove Portuguese entirely ? It would be easier for me since I can't reproduce this at all for now !

I'll try to make some tests, but no promise here, it's just annoying.

Ok, it's fixed for good this time, could reproduce it in linux and in french. You need to download the new dlls-0.97.4 and redownload the latest raine version too !

Sorry for the inconvenience, it was worse for me, I had to rebuild a few packages manually, windows is really a nightmare lately.

All 0.97.3 is removed, dlls and raine versions.

A few more details : apparently the gcc libs became incompatible with the gettext version I had installed. In a normal system all of this is updated at the same time so you never see incompatibilities like that, except that since I cross compile, that is I prefer to build raine from linux instead of from windows, some of the packages are not in binary form but in source form only, and I need to recompile them when i want to update them, gettext is in this category, and it's very long to compile, so I avoid to compile it as much as possible. Except there is no warning about incompatibilities, and they are easily missed in such a setup !
I would really need someone to take care of the windows version from windows, it would be easier for everyone, but I don't want to do it because rebooting all the time would be longer. Anyway I hope this mess will be over for quite a while !

Hello again Tux! Thank you so much for this fast fix and for the details on the issue. Now the language selection is working again in Raine and I could select English and save it normally.

But curiously some strings are still not translated in the Portuguese translation:

Japanese font

Autostart drivers

Background animation

Profiler mode

Are you sure these strings are translated in the translation file? If they are not, I could provide a translation to them...

Also, in NeoGeo options you could allow us to translate the new Neo-Geo saveram function which was introduced a few versions ago. It is currently untranslated in the Portuguese translation. The memory card menu is also untranslated too...

Finally, the Portuguese translation is automatically detected here the first time I run the program, so I'm still confused with what you said before in this thread, here:

Anyway, I think it would be better to have English as default instead of trying to detect the OS language... I'm not sure if it's common for emulators to detect the OS language at start, but it's just a minor detail in the end of the day...

I suppose you should keep the 0.97.3 version in the Old versions page. It would be weird to not have it listed there I guess, for historical purposes. It worked well, no? At least I couldn't find any problem with it except the language setting...

Thank you so much again for your time and work.

The missing strings : apparently the files in locale need to be updated too, 1st time I see that, usually this format is very stable, sorry but it will have to wait for next time. I have this for french too, the same strings.

The default english : no, because it's supposed to be available to any dummy who doesn't know a single english word

The missing 0.97.3 : I didn't do it on a a whim : I needed to update libintl-8.dll, but also recompile any file using it. Which meant dlls-0.97.3 became already outdated, + the 0.97.3 needed to be recompiled when 0.97.4 was just released. Useless, it's just easier to delete everything and just keep 0.97.4. Those who can compile their version can compile 0.97.3 if they want to.
precision : if you don't recompile the binary which uses this dll, it's not just the translation functions which don't work, you get a cryptic message from windows on launch and immediate return to desktop ! That's also why 0.97. 3 became useless after updating this dll if it's not recompiled.
