I have two locales under System Preferences > Language & Region: Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic)
English

I've tried a few other pemutations and there's some odd stuff going on. First, no matter which locale I set, it only ever shows 2 in the dropdown. I tried German, which brings up GIMP in German but still only offers
System default
English
in the GIMP settings.

Now here's where it gets weird. I decided to add Gaeilge (Irish) and put it above Gàidhlig in the OS settings: Gaeilge (ga)
Gàidhlig (gd)
English (en)

When I restart GIMP, it comes up in Gaelic (gd)! The only way I managed to get it to fire up in Irish was by removing gd from the OS locales list. Irish is not translated to a high % but still I don't see why it should bring up gd if you set ga above gd.

I'm on 10.9.4 by the way, just in case that's important.

PS: sorry for the moan, I can see now that this is fortunately not intentionally like this, I apologise for over-reacting a bit, it just happens too often that unsupported or less supported locales like ours are 'forgotten'

That's strange. I tested my build (= the one Michael Schumacher referred to) on Mavericks and see a long list of languages in the language selector, not only these both. With Partha's build I see indeed only two items. Also, what language is your primary language in the OS X system settings (I mean, what's it's native name so I could reproduce some issues)? Are more people experiencing this effect?

Kind regards

Sven

The outcome is still the same, only 2 locales shown (Default and English) and it comes up in English either way :/

I updated 2.8.14 McGimp last night to include the language codes. Could you please re-download and test that your language (in fact all languages) are visible to you?

Thanks, Partha

In your tmp folder, there should be a file called rungimp-2.8-2014-series-of-numbers.log. Can you tell me if you seeing any errors in this log other than dbus?

Thanks, Partha
