A couple of things related to this package:

  • The app was created with Linux Mint in mind, so there are some things that might be handled differently on Arch; you can check the "Locale" or "Internationalization" articles on the wiki for more information. Please also keep that in mind before posting bugs here
  • From version 1.5.0, on some desktops and menus, it still appears the "Input Method" access despite the removal on this package, it is useless on Arch and if you wish you can remove it manually using menulibre, alacarte or some other similar program (it is useless because, again, things are handled differently in Arch than Linux Mint, which is where the program is mainly aimed for)

Any problems, bugs or issues usage, you can report it to upstream via its Github page

@Boboshan: my apologies, it seems that somehow my test worked fine but in reality things were different

@zunplau: interesting, it seems that a lot of things has changed then due to this migration

I might take some additional time to update then, so please be patient

Doesn't work, when I try to launch mintlocale from the commandline I get

User language in .dmrc: None
User language in $LANG: it_IT.UTF-8
Current language: it_IT.UTF-8

EDIT: It works if I install python-cairo

Can't install it. Getting:

patching file usr/lib/linuxmint/mintlocale/im.py
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 14.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 37.

EDIT: Seems the yay cache was the problem. I uninstalled it, cleared yay cache and reinstalled. Success.

@toxin: this "issue" is gonna be like that on Arch, because the add and remove buttons only works for Linux Mint, on my pinned comments I explained that the only option is to select upon the available locales previously enabled

toxin commented on 2020-01-13 05:13 (UTC)

Add/remove buttons missing. :(

SunRed commented on 2017-07-01 00:51 (UTC)

@Sam-Burgos Added missing package - works now.
