      I added this line and restarted but it does not work.
      When I test with LANG = fr_FR.UTF8 ./emulationstation, it works well.

        2- cd /home/pi/ (Ok)

        3- git clone --recursive https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation.git (Ok)

        4- cd /home/pi/EmulationStation (Ok)

        5- mkdir build (Ok)

        6- cd build (Ok)

        7- cmake .. (Ok)

        8- make (Ok)

        Testing

          @Luc01 said in EmulationStation localization (translation):

          emulationstation #auto to LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 emulationstation #auto
          Restart many time but dont work !!!

          The autostart will run the default emulationstation package, which has no Localization options. If you didn't overwrite the default Emulationstation in RetroPie, then the autostart.sh must have the correct path to your compiled Emulationstation version:

          LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 /home/pi/Emulationstation/emulationstation

            Thank you, it works now but I had to change Emulationstation for EmulationStation otherwise it would not start.
            Thank you very much, now it's very clear.

              Another question...
              I started all over again because with the second approach, in the menu exit retropie, the commands did not work.

              I follow all the steps, but at the installation (sudo cp ./emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/) I always get the message "cp: can not create regular file"/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: Text file busy "

                    First of all, thank you all for this!
                    This is awesome as my kids and friends, who don't speak English, can fully enjoy my Retropie setup now!

                    I'm running the latest Retropie 4.5.2 with underlying OS and every core updated along with the Comic Book theme and I'm experiencing something I'd call a hickup, not an issue or error.
                    Whenever I load a game and quit it using START+SELECT the screen becomes black ad it takes almost 15 seconds to the theme come back with my games list.
                    It started immediately after I compiled the emulationstation with localization and copied it over the original one.
                    Does anyone have any clue of what might be happening?
                    Thanks!

                      Hi, I need a little help with GitHub. A while ago, I created a branch for the German translation: https://github.com/Taranchul/EmulationStation

                      Now, I want to work a little more on the German translation, but my branch is "19 commits behind flyinghead:master", as Github tells me.

                      How do I update my branch to the current state of @Flyinghead's master? I'm using Linux, so instructions for either the bash or the web interface of Github are welcome. Thanks!

                        @Clyde Assuming you have check out locally your Github repo, follow the instructions here to add @Flyinghead's repository as an upstream and sync it. Make your modifications locally, then push to your Github repo, so you'll be able to create a new PR to the upstream project.

                          @mitu Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. For anyone who is puzzled about this, too, these commands did the job. Anything behind # in a line is just a comment.

                          git clone https://github.com/Taranchul/EmulationStation # Use the url of your own branch.
                          cd EmulationStation # Use the directory the former command downloaded to.
                          git remote -v       # This should only show your own url as "origin".
                          git remote add upstream https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation # Don't change this url!
                          git remote -v       # Just for checking, it should list flyinghead's repo as "upstream".
                          git fetch upstream
                          git checkout master
                          git merge upstream/master               # Now, your LOCAL copy should match flyinghead's repo.
                          git submodule update --init --recursive # Also clone the submodule in external/pugixml`.
                          git push origin master                  # Upload your local copy to your GitHub repository.
                          

                          Guides used:

                          One more question: After editing a file and pushing it into my repo, how do I make a pull request from the command line?

                          Update: Added git submodule update --init --recursive and the resp. guide.

                            I have a problem running the compiled ES fork with the German locale:

                            $ LANG=de_DE.UTF8 ./emulationstation
                            terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::locale::conv::invalid_charset_error'
                              what():  Invalid or unsupported charset:UTF-8 or CHARSET
                            Aborted
                            

                            With en_US.UTF8, the program runs fine (albeit with an extremely long time of the "Loading ..." screen). edit: fr_FR.UTF-8 also works fine.

                            My locales seem to be okay:

                            $ locale -a
                            C
                            C.UTF-8
                            de_DE.utf8
                            en_GB.utf8
                            en_US.utf8
                            POSIX
                            

                            I also re-generated the German locale with sudo locale-gen de_DE and sudo locale-gen de_DE.UTF8.

                            Any ideas?

                                  @heloisa I'm sorry, maybe I was wrong, I meant to change the emulation station language on the linux mint system.

                                          @brigada cmake reports the package libcec as missing. Check which packages from the libcec family are installed:

                                          sudo apt install aptitude  # install aptitude
                                          aptitude search libcec     # use aptitude to search for libcec
                                          

                                          The output of the second command should look like this:

                                          p   libcec                           - Meta package libCEC.                                                                                                       
                                          i   libcec-dev                       - libCEC communication Library (development files)                                                                           
                                          v   libcec-platform                  -                                                                                                                            
                                          p   libcec-platform-dev              - CEC Platform support library -- development files                                                                          
                                          p   libcec-platform1v5               - CEC Platform support library                                                                                               
                                          i A libcec4                          - libCEC communication Library (shared library)                                                                              
                                          p   libcec4-dbgsym                   - debug symbols for libcec4                                                                                                  
                                          p   libcec4-dev                      - libCEC communication Library (development files)                                                                           
                                          p   python-libcec                    - Python bindings for libCEC                                                                                                 
                                          p   python-libcec-dbgsym             - debug symbols for python-libcec
                                          

                                          Try to install any packages without an i in front of them (i means installed) with the command sudo apt install <package name> and restart cmake. Worthwhile candidates for software compilation are those ending with -dev (development packages). After you've pinpointed the missing package, you may remove the others again with sudo apt remove <package name>.

                                          Examples:

                                          sudo apt install libcec-dev
                                          
                                          sudo apt remove libcec-dev
