Original description:

Hi. I have a problem. I installed Geary to see my Turkish translations. I
logged in with my gmail account but i couldn't see my mails or anything. I saw
some Turkish menu items but there were no mails. So i deleted my ubuntu
partition and installed elementary os daily build. But this time i installed
in english by default. And i see my mails on Geary. So i think there is a bug.
My translation might cause problems or it happened becouse there are two
Turkish languages on transifex. I duplicated my translation to each of them.
This might be the cause of this problem. I don't know. But i can't see my
mails in Turkish Geary. Please fix this problem. I am not an experienced user.
I hope i didn't ruin anything. By the way there is only one Turkish language
in Turkey. I don't know why there are two Turkish languages on transifex. And
i also duplicated my translations on Shotwell. But Shotwell works fine. Only
Geary has problem on Turkish language sellected OS. (Elementary OS Luna or
Ubuntu. I installed both OS in Turkish and in English)

This is Geary on English language system;

language system: http://s13.postimage.org/xrfd7z63b/t_rk_e.png

I don't think the translations could be the cause of your mail problems. For
the two screenshots, were they both connected to the same account (i.e.
Gmail)? Or different? I ask because we know Geary has problems with certain
types of servers, and that may explain why you were not seeing mail on one of
them.

I don't know why there are two Turkish translations, I will look into this:

  * **Priority** changed from _High_ to _Normal_

Yes I used same gmail account on each system. (ferhattnctn66@gmail.com) By the
way thanks for the answer. I'am relieved. And I hope this server problem is
resolvable. I want to use Geary as my default mail client. It's light and
beatiful program. And it fits elementary OS very well. Thanks again and have a
nice day.

  * **Priority** changed from _Normal_ to _High_
  * **Target version** set to _0.3.0_

Thanks for the compliments, we're happy to hear that Geary is meeting your
needs.

Re-marking this ticket as High. High means we intend to resolve this soon,
probably in the next release.

  * **Status** changed from _Open_ to _Need Information_

As you see, I've removed the tr_TR translation from Geary. I'm curious, are
you still seeing the text problem with Geary on your system?

Comment 2 Ferhat Tunçtan 2013-11-25 16:47:36 UTC
Hi again. My harddisk was broken and I was a little bit busy. Now I finally buy a new harddisk and I installed Elementary OS Luna. It uses Geary as default mail application. Everything is updated and still I can't see anything on geary's UI. I still see the text problem with Geary on my system.
Comment 3 Jim Nelson 2013-12-10 00:01:29 UTC
What do you get when you type this command at the terminal prompt:

$ locale
Comment 4 Ferhat Tunçtan 2013-12-10 06:38:37 UTC

$ locale command response

When I entered $ locale command in terminal prompt it says "couldn't find the command" in Turkish.
Comment 5 Jim Nelson 2013-12-17 19:32:14 UTC
That's strange.  Does this command show you anything?

$ whereis locale

If it's not installed, try installing (or reinstalling) libc-bin.

First i wrote "$ whereis locale" to terminal and it said "couldn't find the
command". Then I reinstalled libc-bin with Synaptic Package Manager. And it still says "couldn't find the command". And Geary still looks same.

Alex Kapranoff (bug #737082) did some good debug with me and I believe we've discovered the problem.  I will start working on a fix tomorrow.

Comment 10 Jim Nelson 2014-10-31 18:23:00 UTC
To reproduce this, be sure the Turkish language pack is installed and execute Geary like this:

$ env LC_CTYPE=tr_TR.UTF-8 ./geary

Although a network connection will be made, Geary will not properly parse many IMAP responses and the application will be more or less unusable.  On a new account, Geary will not pull down any emails, leading to a blank window.

I've pushed a commit to master that fixes this problem, commit bc0a89.  The next release of Geary will include this patch.
Comment 11 Şenol Alan 2018-05-08 07:44:42 UTC
The bug is still valid. I can not access my e-mail with Turkish locale.
Comment 12 Michael Gratton 2018-05-08 08:04:36 UTC
Hi Şenol, since this particular ticket is quite old and tagged for a past release, can you please open a new bug to cover the regression that includes: How to reproduce the problem, what the expected behaviour is, and what Geary actually does. Thanks!
