Hello I’m trying to change the language of kicad but I’m getting this error that the locale cannot be set, I went to the the github of the translations, git cloned it to my PC but now I don’t know how to processed, I use Manjaro and installed via pacman.
Give us the full version info from Help->about kicad->copy version info (It contains the list of compilation settings which could contain a clue)
There could be a problem with the package of your system. Especially as your operating system is not one of the officially supported linux distributions. (Arch would be the closest system to yours that is officially supported)

You need to install the language supportfor the desired language in Manjaro.
I use kubuntu and I get the same message if I select in KIcad any language that is not installed in my system regardless the Kicad locale installation.
