Hi, i just installed Ganttproject on MacOS and would like to change the language to Spanish. In Edit > Settings > Application UI > Language the only options I get are English, Galician and Tajik. How can I get Spanish to work with on Ganttproject
Oh, wow. Indeed, I also see only these three languages. We’ll fit is soon. Thanks for reporting!
There is a workaround: you can change the language by editing options file in any text editor.
Workaround:
Open file $HOME\.ganttproject in any text editor, find the line <option id="ui.language" value="en_US"/> and replace the value with code for your language. It should be fr_FR for French, de_DE for German, es_ES` for Spanish.
$HOME is user’s home directory (something like /Users/<your user name> ).
Note the dot in the file name, it might be hidden in Finder. Running open ~/.ganttproject from the Terminal may work fine.
Update: it appears that our bundled Java Runtime is missing all locale data except English and thus all languages are filtered out. Galician and Tajik languages are the exceptions because we add them even if we don’t find corresponding locales (they were missing anyway in Java Runtimes 8 and earlier).
We’ll build a new distro with updated Java Runtime today.
Thanks Dmitry for your fast response. I managed to change the language with the workaround you suggested. But I hope you get the issue fixed because I do want to be able to change languages with an easy interface.
This is fixed now, the update is available from our website.
Thanks Dmitry. Already downloaded it. Works like a charm.
