personal directory -
flatpak --filesystem=~/.tuxpaintrc --filesystem=~/.tuxpaint run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --nosysconfig
- Run Tux Paint in other locales (languages)
- Add the language(s) you want, by issuing the command
flatpak config --set extra-languages "XX;YY;ZZ;..."
, where "XX
", "YY
", etc. are two-letter locale codes (e.g., "es" for Spanish, "he" for Hebrew, etc.). Then issue the commandflatpak update
.
That will install, among other things, the "org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint.Locale

You may then run, e.g.,flatpak run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --lang=hebrew
