Description
The FreeCiv UI used to be in English, but now it's in Greek. I haven't tried to play since apparently 2017, so I don't know exactly when this changed. I assume there's some setting somewhere that controls the UI language but I couldn't find any documentation of it, and trying to run it with different values of LANG in its environment didn't help.

Check System Preferences → Language & Region. Is Greek listed there?
comment:2 Changed 4 years ago by ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)
It is, I added something there in 2009 or 2010 to make the greek letters more readily accessible (for math & physics), and I'm not sure the options are the same now. So that was in place long before FreeCiv changed to Greek. In addition to all of the OS upgrades I migrated to a new MacBook in 2018. In Language & Region, English is noted as Primary; shouldn't everything use the primary language by default?

There are a number of other environment variables involved with locale stuff. Run the locale command to see them all. Also check the International section of Terminal's Advanced preferences tab.

It may be the case that this is a bug that was fixed in gettext 0.20. A change mentioned in its changelog:
- The interpretation of the language preferences on macOS has been fixed.
I have gettext 0.20.2 installed and cannot reproduce the issue.
gettext in MacPorts has not yet been updated to this version; see #58526.

I'm at gettext @0.19.8.1_2, and port upgrade gettext doesn't upgrade it; how do I get 0.20?
comment:6 Changed 4 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
As I said above, gettext in MacPorts has not yet been updated to this version; see #58526.

Freeciv picked up a secondary language in my System Preferences → Language & Region early in 2021 and earlier. Now I am working with version Freeciv version 2.6.6, and I do not see that problem. I now have gettext @0.21_0. Maybe the problem was related to gettext @0.19.8.1_2 and is now resolved?

I'd close this ticket, but I don't see a way to do that
