I would like to start the genealogy program Gramps with a language (English) other than my locale one (Spanish). I successfully tried to run Gramps
in terminal via
LANG=en_GB gramps
I would like, now, to add this command in the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/
to be able to start Gramps
in the English language, but I cannot get it to run like this
EXEC=LANG=en_GB gramps
What can I do?
Edit:
For those interested: the suggestion by Jacob down below helped me to start gramps in the given language English via the .desktop file. In addition, I have used the following two commands so that gramps
in terminal starts in English as well:
echo 'LANGUAGE=en_GB PATH=/usr/bin/gramps:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
echo 'alias gramps='LANGUAGE=en_GB /usr/bin/gramps'' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Logout and login!

I installed Gramp and tried it here, and this should really work:
LANGUAGE=
takes precedence overLANG=
Note
Make sure you run the application from the local
.desktop
file: After editing the local one, make sure you log out / in before running it again.
