1/ bug summary
In fact the bug, is that everything is in french, in gucharmap, but the title of
the character and the section "Noms alternatifs :", as at the end of this mail.

2/ french in debian system
NB: I believe my gucharmap is in french because I use a standard french debian
system.
I do not know how to switch from or to french or english language (I onky use
french.).

LANG=gucharmap &
launch gucharmap en french.
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 gucharmap &
launch gucharmap en french.
LANG=de.UTF-8 gucharmap &
launch gucharmap en english.

you can know your locale using "locale".
as root, you can use "dpkg-reconfigure locales"
