Description
ISSUE:
In Preferences/Language: FileZilla offers a list of languages to choose from as a user interface language. Many of these languages cannot be activated. The error displayed by Filezilla states:
"Failed to change language
Failed to set language to [name on the language], using default system language"
The languages I could not set to work are:
-Arabic
-Armenian
-Farsi
-Galician
-Georgian
-Indonesian
-Kurdish
-Latvian
-Macedonian
-Nepali
-Norwegian (bokmal)
-Norwegian (nynorsk)
-Occitan
-Serbian
-Thai
-Valencian
-Vietnamese
SUGGESTION 1:
Remove non-functioning languages from the list. (In that case maybe those languages should be moved to a place where contributors can update them/fix them)
SUGGESTION 2:
If this error is an absolute necessity and cannot be avoided,
I suggest using a fuller sentence to provide clarity.
"Failed to change language
Failed to change language to [name of the language].
FileZilla will use this system's default language instead."
ADDITIONAL QUESTION:
What happens if the system's default language is one of those that are not working in FileZilla? Which language FileZilla will fall to?
