[SOLVED] Hello and problem

Post by Waldo545 »

Hi,
My name is Waldo and wish say hello to every one.
I'm using LMDE 4 and just installed an application for running a Spectrum Annalyzer NWT4000.
This application, linnwt4_v1_10_13.tar.gz, is in german language, It installs in /usr/local/bin. I've seen that in /usr/share there is a folder named nwt4transl, into wich there is a file named nwt4_en.qm.
To manage this application I've done a link from main menu and goes very well.
My question is if there is any way to run it in english.

Thanks a lot for your consideration
waldo

Don't know if this will work, but it might be worth a try...
mmmmm, its German!
no problem, run it with this parameter to get it in Englesh
sudo ./linnwt ../app_en.qm
Ref: https://zr6aic.blogspot.com/2016/06/how ... er-on.html

So, one might think that in your case, it'll be...

Code: Select all

sudo linnwt /usr/share/nwt4transl/nwt4_en.qm
But, that won't work. I looked at the source code...
https://www.dl4jal.de/nwt4x/sw/linnwt4_v1_10_13.tar.gz

And after looking over some related documents, is the executable NWT4000lin?
Option -l switch to another language
If the software is called with the option -len, the software starts in
English language. I hope I have translated everything reasonably correctly. I
am not that good at english. Here is the start of the PC software in English:
NWT4000lin -len
If so, maybe this is the correct answer...

Code: Select all

NWT4000lin -len
Ref: https://www.dl4jal.de/nwt4x/PDF/nwt4000_sw.pdf (in German)
