If you are trying to run turtleart in gnome in your locale, try adding this bit of code to the top of turtleart.py: import gettext gettext.bindtextdomain( "org.laptop.TurtleArtActivity", "locale" ) gettext.textdomain( "org.laptop.TurtleArtActivity" ) _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div> I wrote to the list about localization in italian of turtle art outside of Sugar. Adding lines of code that you propose, now everything works perfectly Thanks claudio -- <a href="mailto:claudio.carboncini@gmail.com">claudio.carboncini@gmail.com</a> "most of skolelinux server admins are not IT professionals" Registered Linux User #477065
