[Gambas-user] Problems in translation

[ulisse at ...933...]

Dear Benoit,
thanks for your answer.

I missed one important detail: The issue is in switching the
language in a form.

Following your help I was able to use System.Language ="..."
but it worked only when I made a startup module and I set it
to show the Form1 after having issued System.Language="...".

Changing System.Language after having shown the form doesn't
affect the form itself so:
I can switch the language 
A) putting the LANG var or 
B) reading the wanted lang from .conf file (and that solve
100% my need)

Still missing is how to switch lang on the fly after having
started the app.

Thanks again especially for explaining the internals (/tmp
and glibc)
