How to change application language


Hi,

I installed Abiword and application language is set to my native language.
None application so far did this and I want application language to be
plain English.
Even more if I do want to set other language, any application
providing this feature would let me easily change this through common
setting dialog.

How do I change Abiword application language (menus, dialogs, etc) to English?

Thanks

That's weird, setting LANG=en_US or LANG=C works fine for me (abiword 2.6 on debian).

I already replied but my mail did not go through - I guess because I
attached image which I now provide as link and CC mailing list

double-checked: http://i.imgur.com/uk71c.png

its same with LANG=C

Abiword prints weird jumble of letters


Hello,
Forgive me if I'm maybe submitting this question a second time, but I
may have sent it before my subscription was confirmed the first time,
and I haven't received an answer since, so I'm trying once more:

 Has anyone else been having problems printing documents from Abiword?
 I tried it the first time on Bodhi Linux: both the print preview and
 the actual printout are just a weird jumble of letters dispersed
 across the page, while in editing view everything looked completely
 normal. I saved the document to different locations and tried a few
 times until eventually I got a fine printout, but I can't reproduce
 what caused the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks, Ben

In the description of that bug:

Current: "when viewed in 'Print Preview' and when printed."

Should be: "when viewed in 'Print Preview' and then printed."

...switch 'when' for 'then'.

This sounds like a True Type Font issue.

Try using a font within the document that isn't True Type?

I would keep pandering the Bodhi packagers as nobody at the Abiword end here is 
responding.  You can also try uninstalling (all) fonts and reinstalling 
specific fonts to try finding the problem.  I use bitstream fonts here.

We use any scaleable font that fontconfig can find, and pango supports.

The only bug related to this that I can remember, is when AbiWord tried
to load non-scaleable fonts, and tried to use them as being scaleable.
But that was years ago, and we don't load those anymore.
Furthermore they resulted in garbage on screen as well, not just in the
printed output.
