Definitely some sort of locale problem. Either something wrong with the locale settings on the system or the getlocale module doesn’t recognize en_IL for some reason.
However, I can fix Welcome so that it can fallback to English instead of raising an exception and failing if the locale is unknown.
In the meantime, you should be able to workaround this by manually specifying the locale:
Its probably also worth Noting the fact that the QT 4 Settings icon is missing in Ubuntu 16.10
this also happens when you upgrade from 16.04. However QT 4 Still Works. (worth noting)
Sorry, it’s still on the list of issues to fix, but it hasn’t been forgotten.
At the moment, Welcome and Software Boutique development just restarted and currently in the process of being separated. It’ll definitely be fixed in 17.04. Perhaps 16.10 and 16.04 too, but neither of those packages have been updated for months.
Hi, sorry this did get buried, but I committed a fix and will be available in the next update.
It’s simple, Welcome will not crash when gettext fails like your screenshot shows. Why this happens in the first place is a deeper issue (related with the python3-polib module)
