Hi, while running the latest master branch, I encountered the following error:

ERROR - Failed to set locale to en_US.ISO8859-1

A quick lookup with locale -a showed that my system has many locales, but none matching the required one. Although a bit weird, as the line, causing the error, namely:

pythonlocale.setlocale(pythonlocale.LC_ALL, lang)

is calling only pythonlocale.LC_ALL which eventually is turned into en_US.ISO8859-1 by Python's locale.py. So is it a Python-and-my-system-related bug or somewhat else, like a PyQT issue?

Hi,

this is a known bug (it does not try UTF-8 but defaults to the default locale encoding), I just haven't opened a ticket yet. You can work around it in the meantime by using locale-gen to generate the locale that's missing.

@PeterSurda May I ask why we aren't trying to load UTF-8? I guess because of compatibility issues with specific chars? It would be far more universal if there UTF-8 (or maybe even UTF-16) would be used.

I fixed a bug and that opened a new one. I'll fix this one too, don't worry.

Please retry with the latest v0.6 branch and close if it's fixed. It will still complain but it will then try UTF-8 and that should succeed.

It works now. At least it didn't throw any errors regarding locale.
