could not change language to en_US

Support Basics & Interface

when I run Blender I get this in console:

could not change language to en_US

what to do with that? when I change language in Blender to polish i get could not change language to pl_PL and so on.

so, noone else has this problem? :expressionless:

you can change laguage in blender?

i didn’t know.

well unfortunatly i can’t help you on that.
reinstal blender. or maybe the langage file is not compatible with the blender you have.

just guessing.

I havent install it. I use Blender on linux. Just had to unpack it and run. And Im sure that there was no problem 2 weeks ago. I maybe did something wrong? But don`t know what :-?
And for your question. Yes, you can change language in blender in User Preferences -> Language & Font. Unfortunatelly, when I change it nothing happens.

and by the way:
Evene if noone knows how to solve it, please tell me that I`m not alone with this problem :wink: Or really noone else gets this “could not change language to en_US” message on Blender startup?

OK, problem solved :smiley:
Its really easy. Thats a shame that I havent found whats wrong earlier :expressionless:
So, as my /etc/locale.gen is:

pl_PL.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

I had to edit .Blanguages file to look like this:

English:en_US.UTF-8
Japanese:ja_JP
Dutch:nl_NL
Italian:it_IT
German:de_DE
Finnish:fi_FI
Swedish:sv_SE
French:fr_FR
Spanish:es_ES
Catalan:ca_ES
Czech:cs_CZ
Brazilian Portuguese:pt_br
Simplified Chinese:zh_CN
Russian:ru_RU
Croatian:hr_HR
Polish:pl_PL.UTF-8

Theres no error now and I can change language to my native which is polish. I dont use it in Blender though, but it`s nice to know I have options :wink:
