gnome-terminal misspells color

I've checked the version in trunk and the version in Edgy, and they both call the colour tab "Colors". Are you sure you're running in en_US?

Not very sure, I can't get into the language applet. aspell is telling me "colour" is invalid; and bash says

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en

does it happen if you use LANGUAGE=en_US?

I'm not certain, but I think "en_US" isn't a valid value for LANGUAGE (so it falls back to the next option, "en_GB"). I think what you want is "C": "LANG=C:en_GB;en".

it is not happening here using feisty with gnome-terminal 2.16.1-0ubuntu1
when using en_GB.UTF-8 I get Colours
when using en_US.UTF-8 I get Colors

chantra: with respect, I think you misunderstood: the problem here, as I see it, is that John Moser is using the environment variable "LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en", and "en_US" is invalid, so it falls back to en_GB. If you just use en_US, it will fall back to "C" (the default). In addition, chantra, are you using the strings you give as LANGUAGE or LANG?

Okay.. good starting point...

bluefox@icebox:~$ ls /usr/lib/locale/en_US* -d
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8
bluefox@icebox:~$ ls /usr/lib/locale/en_GB* -d
/usr/lib/locale/en_GB.utf8

and yes, with LANGUAGE="en_US" and LANGUAGE="C" the results are the same:

$ LANGUAGE="en_US" gnome-terminal
$ LANGUAGE="C" gnome-terminal

The dialog is the same both times.

I tried to confirm that but couldn't. Feisty, x86.

Is this still happening with the latest stable release ?

Any news on this ?
