I have googled some, and searched the forums, but I still can't understand why zsafe's menu titles, menu options, and dialog buttons are all in German, even though the dialogs themselvs are in English. When I
strings zsafe | grep nein and several other German words, I get nothing. Has anyone else dealt with this before?
Thanks,
ND

Only the english string are stored in the binary by default (unless the author happens to be German - then the will be)
The tranlations for the menus, dialogs etc are usually found in .qm files they usually have the same name as the binary (but not always) and are found in /home/QtPalmtop/i18n/<lang code>/ , where <lang code> is the 2 letter code for languages
de - German
en - English
ja - Japanese
It's possible that the person who did the translation didn't get finished with the whole app, in which case the untranslated parts will show up as English
hope this helps more than it confuses

Default language in Qtopia and Opie apps should always be English. Even the Japanese Sharp roms have a default of English.
American English at that! We have had a few discussions in my office about this. Every so often, an Australian spelling creeps in.

Probably a sin to resurrect this thread, but I just wanted to post my fix in case anyone else has the same problem:
When I went to
/opt/QtPalmtop/i18n/en and did du -h * I found all the files to be 512 bytes big, except for zsafe.qm. so I mv'd zsafe.qm to zsafe.qm.bak and copied an arbitrary *.qm file into zsafe.qm, and my problem was fixed. Odd, eh?
