---- Reported by geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2012-10-22 13:16:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 6013 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6013 Searchable id: yorba-bug-6013 Original author: Ferhat TUNÇTAN 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; http://s10.postimage.org/8c2ql9ayx/ingilizce.png And this is Geary on Turkish language system: http://s13.postimage.org/xrfd7z63b/t_rk_e.png Related issues: related to geary - 6023: Investigate second Turkish translation (Fixed) ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-04-03 17:42:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 year ago * **Category** set to _client_ 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: #6023 #### #2 Updated by Ferhat TUNÇTAN about 1 year ago * **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. #### #3 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 year ago * **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. #### #4 Updated by Jim Nelson 9 months ago * **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? #### #5 Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.3.0_ to _0.4.0_ #### #6 Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago * **Target version** deleted (<strike>_0.4.0_</strike>) --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 23:13 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6013 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6013 Unknown version " in product geary.

Created attachment 261466 [details] Geary's Textless UI
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.
What do you get when you type this command at the terminal prompt: $ locale
Created attachment 263886 [details] $ locale command response When I entered $ locale command in terminal prompt it says "couldn't find the command" in Turkish.
That's strange. Does this command show you anything? $ whereis locale If it's not installed, try installing (or reinstalling) libc-bin.
(In reply to comment #5) > 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.

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.
The bug is still valid. I can not access my e-mail with Turkish locale.
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!
