[WorksForMe] Unkown Languages in Virtualbox GUI

[lalit2054]

Hi I freshly installed Virtualbox in Antergos based on Arch Linux. But my GUI is not as per my locale i.e. en_GB, and showing some different languages.

Below are the details of my system --

I'm not sure why you posted this in "Linux Guests" seeing as the problem you describe, and the screenshots, deal exclusively with the host. Moving the topic now.

I see that the window captions are in English, only the dialog fonts are in Vietnamese, or Thai, or whatever it is. So, I suspect some kind of screwup with system fonts, or the Qt configuration. Perhaps you haven't installed enough Qt font packs. I note also that Arch is not a supported host, so all I can do is refer you to the "Linux manual installation" section of the user manual, section 2.3.

So, I finally able to resolve this. It was Qt font rendering issue.

I performed following steps to resolve this --

1. Remove

Code: Select all

~/.config/qt5ct/

folder
2. Run

Code: Select all

LANG=C qt5ct

in terminal
