Maybe it's possible to work that out. > "LANG=x your_app" will start a program with a different language settings. But beware of LANG interaction with LC_ - LC_ overrides LANG. Use LC_ALL instead of LANG if you want to be 100% sure, but this can be undesirable... For example if you want to start application with english GUI, but have german sorting and dates, use "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 your_app" -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky@xxxxxxxxx) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
