WOW - THAT's what I call a beast of a bug:


I switched iMovie to 'Nederlansk' - and boom!: no more black!! 😁


you should report this bug to

http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html

obviously, the localization failed.


as a work-around: dl and install this lil' app

http://www.tj-hd.co.uk/en-gb/languageswitcher/


it allows to set individual apps to a diff. language (English?)

iMovie offer 29 languages ...


I just tested a few, for me 'exotic' languages (chinese, ukraine, finnish) - it looks like, only the Netherlands misses a few backgrounds ... that's not fair! Spend a lot of vacations (windsurf) in the 90ies there .... very nice, friendly people, should be allowed to use a black background 😝


.... interesting .... 😉


==edit==


I forwarded this thread to the Apple Mods of this board - maybe, they have a better 'connection' to Cupertino ... But send a bug-report anyhow!

I was 17y, on my first visit in the Netherlands (some hundred years ago ... ) - you don't imagine HOW kind I remember some of your 'meisjes' ... 😁

I just checked - 'black' in Dutch is 'zwart' - with my skils in English, there's no reason to 'word filter' that. Or, whatever stupid reason kills that background.


… but - a quick look in the iMovie package shows something obvious:

The Dutch version of 'localizable.strings' is 20kb, all other versions read as 25kB ...

And I'm no engineer:

I'm afraid, some-one some-how forgot some-thing ... 😝


(or, these elements were caravaning on our Autobahns ... ) 😁😝😉
