Sorry it took me so long to reply, but after I wrote up a response, I
checked the mythfrontend --help output, and it seemed to indicate that I
was wrong. Yesterday, however, Stuart Morgan confirmed that the
approach I had planned to tell you about does work (and we will likely
change the --help output to better describe what it does). Then I took
another day trying to find your post so I could actually reply.

Anyway, just use:

mythfrontend -p

to prompt for the language. It's listed in the --help output as:

-p or --prompt Always prompt for Mythbackend selection.

but will actually cause a prompt for language (as we need to ensure we
ask about database/backend using the proper language).

Cool, that answers my question, thanks!

While I think it would be better if we can have some switch on the front end UI to choose the preferred language.

Thanks,

Bin


Hi!

Sorry, it looks like I either missed or never received the original message
as I always try to reply to posts made on this mailing list and did not in
this case because I never saw the original message...

In the user interface it should have been under something like
Setup/Settings, Appearance I think (I can't check as I am not home right
now and I am not a 100% sure as the frontend I use the most is not using
English but French).

(I am assuming though that the user interface was displayed in a language
you understood...)

Thanks Mike! I have added this to the translation wiki page...

Have a nice day!
