On both Ubuntu 9.10 and CentOS 5.4 x64 the OpenERP client will incorrectly load the locale (in this case, nl_NL.UTF-8) upon login into a database with the error
WARNING:translate:Unable to set locale nl_NL.UTF-8
In translate.py the following line causes this:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, lang_enc
removing the try block reveals the following stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

language, encoding = localetuple
ValueError: too many values to unpack
Upon further analysis, it turns out that 'type(lang)' is not <str>, but <unicode>. Converting lang to str with str(lang) works around the problem, but I'm guessing it really shouldn't be a unicode:
---
if lang:
if type(lang) is not type(''):
lang = str(lang)

Hello Loeki,
If you try to set locally the other locale the the default one you will have this exception
When you execute the following command to set locale on your python prompt you will get the original Exception . i.e
locale.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/
return _setlocale(
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
So,
The gtk tries to set your default locale to nl_NL by locale.setlocale() but your machine does not have the entry in its locale file. ie you need to explicitly make an entry of the locale needed by following ways:
1: using the command:
2: manually edit the file
Then when you restart the gtk . It will easily set the locale.
Thanks,
