Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the new dmg file and tried it.

This time when you launch the application, the locale directory is automatically created in the user library.

However, the language switching command is not displayed on the help menu.

Something may be missing.

First of all thank you very much for bringing language support to Kstars!

Unfortunately I run into some problems:
I've installed the new 2.8.3 on my MacBook Pro (10.12.6) and changed the language to German and restarted the app.
After a few seconds the screen changes to a (cool) 8 bit mode:


Console log is empty :-(

Any suggestions?

All the best,
Oliver

This has to mark the weirdest bug I ever received for KStars during the last 15 years! Any Mac gurus care to weigh in??

Poison,
can you change the language from German to default and run KStars?

Um. . .thats different?! is it just the skymap? Or is there any other part of the program that is affected? I have been using KStars now on multiple Macs since I first got it to compile about a year ago. And I have built it multiple ways and edited the code many times and it has never done that! Not even when I was editing the graphics of the skymap to try to track down that pesky little bug that was sometimes putting a thin black horizontal line across the middle of the screen. You might see if you can get the problem to repeat itself and find the conditions under which it does so. Also, it might help to run KStars from the terminal to see if any errors print out when you do it. And it might be good to take a lot at a log file to see if anything gets logged

Hello Oleg,

I changed the language to default and all works well. So I'll guess the German language file is buggy?

Poison,

Go into the KStars Preferences, the advanced tab, and make sure "Verbose" is selected. Then you can either set it to log the output to a file, or you can just leave it set to "Default" and run it from the terminal by typing this into Terminal and hitting enter: /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS/kstars. Either way you will get the error messages if they occur.

Hi rlancastle,

I've attached the logs.
And I switched my macOS language to English, same behaviour.

All the best,
Oliver
