Locale problem with Kicad 5 flatpack install (linux mint19)

[hugocoolens]

Because the default version of KiCad in mint19( kicad 4.0.7+dfsg1-1ubuntu2) is buggy, I installed KiCad 5.0 like this:
flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.kicad_pcb.KiCad.flatpakref
This seems to work fine, the only problem I’m having is when I start KiCad I always get the message:

Cannot set locale to language “English (U.S.)”

I click this away each time and everything seems fine but I wonder whether there is workaround for this?
Maybe the builder of the flatpack could anticipate this when building the package?

kind regards,
Hugo

Do you get the same problem if you select a different language?

Happens to me, too, on Kubuntu 17.10. A bigger problem is that it crashes if I try to use Accelerated Modern Toolset. Fallback works, though.

How/where should I select a different language?

kicad main window under the preferences dialog. Try to select a different dialect of english.

The solution was to change the language from default to English in the preferences dialog
Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

You can of course create a bug report. I noticed that my crash issue was just closed: https://github.com/flathub/org.kicad_pcb.KiCad/issues/5. I don’t know when it will be reflected in the package.
