[Eric] How to set/reset GUI language preference

[Mike Morris]

After a crash, my eric6 is now in German rather than my default English.

FYI: I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 linux, 64 bit with eric6 18.05 recently
installed (from tarball).

I don't see any language setting in Preferences at all... so I've tried
to figure out how Qt might be affecting it, but I know nothing of it, so
no progress there.

I've completely removed my ".eric6" prefs directory, and my most recent
project directory as well. (Just renaming them out of the way...) but no
help.

The only way I've gotten it to startup in English again is by logging in
as a different user.

Any pointers greatly appreciated!

If you are having issues with German language (eric probably selected this because it is
Made in Germany :-) ), you may edit the config file with an editor. That is

~/.config/Eric6/eric6.ini

In there it is the entry "Language" of the "[UI]" section. If you set it to "None", it will use
the default (i.e. builtin) language, which is English.

Language=None

I just noticed error messages in my "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?", "Nein,
NEIN!" problem...

Upon startup, the Console shows:

***@othala:~$ eric6
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
*Warning: translation file 'qt_de'could not be loaded.*
Using default.

and in the Eric GUI:

*Warning: translation file 'git_de' could not be loaded.*
Using default.

Note the difference between "qt_de" and "git_de".

Does this help anyone with more knowledge of qt to know what's wrong?

Thanks in advance,

MikeM
