LANGUAGE command line option does not work
GIMP version: 2.10.8
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04
Package: [PPA]
According to "Fire up the GIMP" page (https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-fire-up.html) there are two options that we can start GIMP with a selected language.
In LINUX: in console mode, type
LANGUAGE=en
gimp orLANG=en
gimp replacing en by fr, de, ... according to the language you want.
But, when I try, either "System Language" is selected or another language on Preferences, it always starts with defined settings which have been chosen via Preferences.
Is the bug reproducible? [Always (on Linux) ]
Reproduction steps:
- Type LANGUAGE=en gimp on a Linux terminal.
- Repeat it as LANGUAGE=it gimp on the terminal.
gimp -v
