Hi:
I installed Inkscape from Slackbuild ok ... but I can not translate it into Spanish ... the other applications are fine in Spanish. regards.

Slackware 14.2 stable
Kde default Desktop

Hello,

I just typed in a terminal:and the UI is in Spanish.

What locale are you using exactly?

Hi zku, did you see this discussion? It gives you the required pointers.
Basically: go to preferences -> interface -> scan the language drop-down for the spanish you want -> close and restart inkscape

EDIT: this is bypassing the method Didier points at, it is bypassing the system-language of the computer

@Didier Spaier
I use es_ES

bash-4.3# LANG=es_ES.utf8 inkscape
No protocol specified

(inkscape:3433): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0


********************

bash-4.3# export LANG=es_ES.utf8 inkscape
No protocol specified

(inkscape:3433): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

it doesn't work

You should not use a graphical application as root.

Check that you, not root, be the owner of all the files and directory (even the hidden ones) in /home/<your user name> then use the same command as regular user.

As Didier alluded, this does not work because you are likely logged in as your normal user but trying to start inkscape as root. As Didier mentioned, it is never a good idea to start a graphical program as root except for certain occasions (like partitioning a drive using gparted or a graphical file manager if you need to manipulate root owned files). However, it is extremely important to not run a graphical program while logged in as a normal user the way you did, because it will overwrite files in your user's home directory as root and can break things. Hopefully this error happened early enough that it prevented the program from overwriting files in your user's home directory.

If you need to start a graphical program as root while logged in as another user, use kdesu (or install gksu from SBo if you don't have KDE installed). But there should be no reason to use inkscape as root, so I would suggest running your command from the terminal as the user you're logged in as.
