But I always start PyChess in my native language with command:\nLANG=sl\\_SI.utf8 PYTHONPATH=lib/ ./pychess\nSo adding \"LANG=sl\\_SI.utf8\" prefix to start PyChess in Slovenian language. This was working fine without problems for several years, but today I have updated PyChess from hg repository and this feature is not working anymore. Just to make sure I didn't corrupt something I have deleted my ~/pychess hg directory and created a new \"hg clone\" and problem still exists.\n\nIt looks like something has been changing in source code related to language variable and has been broken. Is it?\n\n**What is the expected output? What do you see instead?**\nPyChess should respect LANG variable.\n\n**Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a**\n**tarball/svn?**\nLatest hg."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/pychess/pychess/issues/comments/72775879","html_url":"https://github.com/pychess/pychess/issues/584#issuecomment-72775879","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/pychess/pychess/issues/584","id":72775879,"user":{"login":"pychess","id":10670522,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10670522?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess","html_url":"https://github.com/pychess","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pychess/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-04T01:53:26Z","updated_at":"2015-02-04T01:53:26Z","body":"Original [comment 1.](https://code.google.com/p/pychess/issues/detail?id=584#c1) posted by [igor2x](https://code.google.com/u/116691631290437288902/) 2010-09-03\n\nI have logged into Ubuntu with Slovenian language selected at logon screen and then started PyChess, from terminal using command: PYTHONPATH=lib/ ./pychess\nand PyChess starts in English language instead of my local language. I have checked language variable with command: echo $LANG and it displayed: sl\\_SI.utf8 which is as expected. \n\nIt looks like this is some kind of regression. This problem must been made yesterday, because yesterday morning I have updated hg and PyChess was working fine. Today in morning I updated PyChess from hg again and language was broken."}}
