I have no idea how locales work on Windows and I have no possibility to test ;-)

[hannesrauhe]

print cls.defaultLocaleString says: de_DE

[hannesrauhe]

It's a pitty, since the old lunch menu URL is not there anymore :-(

[entropia1]

defaultLocaleString is hard coded by me, right? I guess locale doesn't work at all on Windows (the documentation says something about POSIX systems) and we have to do something completely differently here.

[hannesrauhe]

That looks awful:

[hannesrauhe]

I look into it. The stackoverflow thread seems to be misleading.

I think, the problem is utf-8...

[entropia1]

Seems that this is the most urgent feature request currently; do you know anything by now?

[hannesrauhe]

I juggled a bit with the locales but wasn't able to get anything to work...

[entropia1]

OK, I guess then I just disable all locale stuff on Windows for now. As far as I remember, I only need it for the translated UI.

Can you please re-check?
