[SOLVED] Cinnamon ist half english, half german

DerEineDa · 2018-09-29 12:08:03

i just did a fresh installation of Arch Linux, and I am sure I did everything correctly. "locale" shows "de_DE.UTF-8" for every variable except LC_ALL, which is empty.

After installing cinnamon, I see that the desktop is a strange mixture of english and german. Take the context menu of the desktop: There is "Desklets hinzufügen" and "Schreibtischeinstellungen", but also "Create new folder" and "Open as Root". The same is true for the whole desktop environment.

Believing I did something wrong, I started over from scratch, formatted everything and installed everything anew. That didn't help. Cinnamon is still half english, half german.

I then installed gnome-shell, which is completely german, so I guess my system configuration is correct.

Am I doing something wrong or is Cinnamon really this broken on Arch? I also use Cinnamon on Fedora 28 without this issue.

EDIT: I will keep the typo in the title to emphasize my point

Wow, how could I miss that? I even did "pacman -S cinnamon-[tab tab]" but completely overlooked this package. This should be mentioned on the wiki.

Thank you so much! Problem solved!

Autocompletion is no good substitute for thinking ;-P
