The following package is needed for full translation of the interface
to your language:
language-pack-gnome-xx
Translation of GTK elements to your language, with
xx your language code; e.g. for Dutch you need
language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
Gramps strings is included with the gramps source.
The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
osmgpsmap Used to show maps in the geography view.
It may be osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map, or python-osmgpsmap,
but the Python bindings for this must also be present.
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine.
Without this, three reports cannot be run.
Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org
PyICU Improves localised sorting in Gramps. In particular, this
applies to sorting in the various views and in the
Narrative Web output. It is particularly helpful for
non-Latin characters, for non-English locales and on MS
Windows and Mac OS X platforms. If it is not available,
sorting is done through built-in libraries. PyICU is
fairly widely available through the package managers of
distributions. See http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/
(These are Python bindings for the ICU package.)
The following packages are optional
gtkspell Enable spell checking in the notes. Gtkspell depends on
enchant. A version of gtkspell with gobject introspection
is needed, so minimally version 3.0.0

rcs The GNU Revision Control System (RCS) can be used to manage
multiple revisions of your family trees. See info at
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree
Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required
PIL Python Image Library is needed to crop
images and also to convert non-JPG images to
JPG so as to include them in LaTeX output.
(For Python3 a different source may be needed,
python-imaging or python-pillow or python3-pillow)
GExiv2 Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
media. Gramps needs version 0.5 or greater.
See http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#GExiv2_for_Image_metadata
ttf-freefont More font support in the reports
