Summary0008654: Use translation Tickle box does not work
DescriptionEven I unchecked Use translation Tickle box, Ardour always starts with translated interface.

I need run Ardour with English interface regardless Ubuntu system setting.

This bug appears in Xfce, Gnome, KDE.
Steps To ReproduceSet main Ubuntu language English , units and collating in Czech - >Ardour starts with Czech interface

Set main Ubuntu language English, units and collating English -> Ardour starts with English interface

In both cases "Use translates" check box in Ardour settings is UNCHECKED (I do not want to use translations).

You put the version down as "Mixbus", but the screenshots show ardour.

Where did you get this version of Ardour from?

Also, does this still happen with Ardour 6.6 ?

I am confirming this with Ardour 6.9.0~ds0-1build1 (Ubuntu package) - the UI follows locale settings regardsless of this option being unchecked (the workaround is to run `LC_ALL=C ardour`),

Without having time for a proper PR ATM, a cursory analysis of main.cc (lines 256 and below) and my hypothesis:

A. (main.cc:258) force-sets LC_MESSAGES to the first nonempty of LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG) (as per man 3 gettext).

B. (main.cc:278) bindtextdomain will bind text domain unconditionally

Calls to gettext(...) consume LC_MESSAGES env var (as per man 3 gettext), which was either set by (A) but it could be also part of the process environment already - that is the case for @n3klid (see his output from locale above).

1. the option in preferences will control whether or not ARDOUR::translations_are_enabled() returns true. Does the file ~/.config/ardour6/.translate exist on your system (note the leading dot before the word translate)

2. bindtextdomain() has no consequences if the locale is not set inside the application

3. We cannot provide support for distribution builds, where we do not/cannot control the build process. If you test this again, please use a nightly build from nightly.ardour.org

I can reproduce this with local build from git & created a PR at github (https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/pull/733).
