[SOLVED] Lost translations

Hi,

A few weeks ago (maybe 2-3) after a usual upgrade and a reboot, I noticed that most of the apps were not translated anymore (in French). I assumed this was due to the upgrade and that translations would come back shortly. But it's been a while now and I still miss them.

For information it's not a global problem, I'm using Mate 1.8 and all items in the System > Preferences or Administration are in French. But "Lock screen" is "Lock screen", same for "Logout" or "Shutdown...". All labels in Caja, Geany, Rhythmbox, etc. are in English too, same for Firefox and Thunderbird.

Of course I tried regenerating the locales but it didn't change anything.

Did I miss something? What should I try to fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] Lost translations

I'm sorry to bump this thread, I promise I won't do it twice, but I'm still stuck with this problem.
Can't anybody tell me why those translations went away?

Thanks again

Re: [SOLVED] Lost translations

Fixed it. It seemed that my /etc/locale.conf was wrong.
Here's the working one:

LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LANGUAGE="fr_FR"

Then to apply of course:

# locale-gen
