MKVToolnix GUI: interface language cannot be changed (stays English)
Created by: be-sc
Problem
Changing the interface language in Preferences › GUI has no effect. Even after a restart MKVToolnix GUI is still displayed in English.
This happens with MKVToolnix v14.0.0 64bit from the Arch repo (installed packages mkvtoolnix-cli and mkvtoolnix-gui through pacman)
To reproduce, starting with a fresh install (~/.config/bunkus.org not present):
- Start MKVToolnix GUI. UI is in English (see locale settings below)
- Go to Preferences › GUI. Interestingly the interface language combo says Catalan (which is also the very first item in that combo box).
- Change it to non-English, e.g. German.
- Restart MKVToolnix GUI.
- UI still displayed in English, but Preferences › GUI says German.
mkvtoolnix-gui.ini after these actions: mkvtoolnix-gui.ini.zip
