Hi
I’ve installed the new beta client on my MacBook which runs OS X 10.5.3 German (Swiss). I have some display errors:
Open → [G’OpenI|]
Home → [G’HomeI|]
Search → [G’SearchI|]
Best Regards
Ben

Thanks for reporting the issue!
This public beta 1 only supports English locale on Mac, but we are investigating this problem now.
Subject: Workaround for public beta 1 on non-English locale on Mac
There’s a quick-and-dirty workaround for non-English locales to get Lotus Notes running without the odd charsets shown. The idea is to set LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8 before Lotus Notes will be started. Open a terminal shell as root, cd to /Applications/Notes.app/Contents/MacOS and rename maclauncher to maclauncher-orig:
su -
cd /Applications/Notes.app/Contents/MacOS
mv maclauncher to maclauncher-orig
Put the following script as maclauncher into the same directory:
#!/bin/sh
export LC_ALL=‘en_US.UTF-8’
exec /Applications/Notes.app/Contents/MacOS/maclauncher-orig
Give it execution rights, otherwise it won’t start:
chmod +x maclauncher
That’s it, it sets LC_ALL to English locale, but only for the start of Lotus Notes.
Have fun,
Heiko
Subject: Language workaround works - Thank you!
I did apply the fix on the “old” maclauncher of the private-beta (January)
And example of a nice alert before:
Tab-Bar before:

Tab-Bar after:
Labels are fixed in most areas.
Thank you.
