GIMP and languages

[BrockyL]

Environment variables control the language settings from whichever terminal it is launched it will enhirit the LC_MESSAGES value for whichever language you wish, so set LC_MESSAGES=de and launch gimp in the same console window and vwalla (terrible french I know) and you have germen text. en is english if you need to know, also there is a complete list under the share\locale folder.

PS: one more reason to switch to Unix Alike Systems.

Environment variables

<SNIP>

there is a complete list under the share\locale folder.

I assume you're referring to Windows environment variables. I need most of my software to function trouble free in German, so this doesn't seem to be a workable solution for me, if I'm understanding you correctly.

As for the complete list under the share/locale folder ... It would be good to get a better pointer where this folder is. I certainly can't find anything of the sort on my system. I'm a programmer, and all system files are visible on my system, so I do know most of the usual places where such things would be, but I haven't been able to find anything.

GIMP does have a local user folder called ENV, but it's empty on my machine.
