Can't change language

by brando_98 » Post

Hi, this is que thing, I don't know if this is how its suposse to work, or its a bug o just a problem with my system. Like you can see, the language is still in english although I already change the language in the section of Client/Server >Language, and the lane in the .conf. , no other language works So what more i could try to change this? Btw: I use linux and installed minetest via snap Image Image

restarted mt ?

just tested at 5.4.1
language was empty, used en from system,
changed to de .../ still en - restarted, see it in DE
changed to es, restarted ... had to find 'idoma' to get back to DE or EN

I use a Ubuntu 20.04 and self compiled original minetest.net source 5.4.1 client

as I never used snap or dogger, I have no experience in or if there is different

Yes of course I did that. The wear thing its, if I install Minetest via Flatpack the language change works, but only with snap is the problem, so I don't know what could be the problem

Setting the language does not work with the Snap for unknown reasons currently.

The reason could be the same as described here: viewtopic.php?p=332277#p332277

Don't know if it's still relevant, never checked since then but the symlink helped when I had the issue that no translations worked.
