Summary0002327: No option in the Preferences to set user interface language
DescriptionIn version 3.3 there is no option in the GTK user interface (Edit -> Preferences) to set the browser user interface language.

Was this feature dropped? Or was it never implemented?

How can I set the user interface language in the meantime?

The gtk version of the application follows the GTK guidelines and sets its languages using the standard i10n environment variable LANGUAGE

for example running netsurf-gtk in dutch would be achieved with

$ LANGUAGE=nl netsurf-gtk

Although this would be specific to that run of netsurf, globally changing gtk interface language is done through the gtk "System settings" using the "Region and language" control

This is the output of the command locale:

LANG=nl_BE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_TIME="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_NAME="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_BE.utf8"
LC_ALL=

I don't have "netsurf-gtk", I only have netsurf (which uses the GTK version it seems) (on Manjaro Linux, which is essentially Arch Linux).

executing netsurf like this does not have the desired effect:
LANGUAGE=nl netsurf

Neither does this:
LANGUAGE=nl_BE.UTF8

I have tried this with 3.9 and it behaves correctly
