Geolocation data not in set language

[sapnho]

Last weekend, I completely reinstalled my PictureFrame to have all the Wayland/labwc stuff not just on my testing system but also on production.

Everything went rather smoothly but I can't figure out how I can get PicFrame to show the geolocation data in German. Which it did on my old system.

I have set
locale: "de_DE.utf8" # "locale -a" shows the installed locales which could used

and have the locales installed on the Raspberry Pi:

pi@picframe:~ $ locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
C.utf8
de_DE.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

I also deleted the pictureframe.db3 database and rebooted, thinking that there might be old language information in there.

Any thoughts?

Is it possible to have a different default locale than the one chosen in Bookworm (if it is installed)?

Ah, I can answer that question myself. The language set in configuration.yaml must be the default locale of Bookworm.

And you must update sudo nano /etc/default/locale
accordingly manually because raspi-config doesn't do it.

LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8"

followed by

export LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
export LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8"
