Description
I compiled Mplayer with the --language=all option
Then I was trying to use GUI in other language than English.
For example I have the following variables set
export LANG=pl
export LC_ALL=pl_PL
based on ./configure –help I even set an extra variable
export LINGUAS=pl
but with no luck. GUI was in English.
The only way to have Polish GUI was to compile Mplayer with --language=pl option
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
regards
Andrzej

Fixing this would require switching to gettext or some other major surgery. I
don't see this happening anytime soon, thus marking WONTFIX.
Reimar, you got the GUI component because you hacked it quite a bit ;-P
The binary will always contain only one language. Those options just make a
difference on which manpages are installed and which HTML docs are created AFAIK.
I don't think this will be changed soon if at all...
As this concerns translations (and not only the Gui) I assign this to DOCS.
btw.: Why on earth was the Gui component assigned to me?? Because I loathe it so
much??
