Window title doesn't respect LC_MESSAGES
Last modified: 2008-08-26 17:00:58 UTC
Please describe the problem: The window title in gnome-terminal doesn't respect the LC_MESSAGES variable while the rest of the text in gnome-terminal does. Steps to reproduce: This can easily be reproduced by setting the following: LANG=fi_FI.UTF_8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 and by running something that doesn't change the window title. My zsh setup does change it so i tested by running a single application within: gnome-terminal -e alsamixer Actual results: The window title reads 'Pääte', which is the finnish translation for Terminal Expected results: The window title should read Terminal or what ever the corrent translation for the locale set with LC_MESSAGES Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
You can change the terminal title by choosing Edit, Current profile, Title&Command tab. The title is initialised from the current locale when the profile is created, but it is not changing when you change the locale later on.
