[Gambas-user] How to force Gambas to use a specific language?

[Toni]

Hi all,
I just wanted to give you my 2 cents on the locales and Gambas.
Having to manualy install into the system the locales that a gambas 
application supports in order to use them it's sort of weird...
If the strings for a given language are there (and programmatically the 
"System.Language" is set to use them), why can't the Gambas app just use 
them?

On the other hand even if the system locale is really necessary in order 
to use a particular translation, it would be nice if the Gambas 
application packager could lookup the current available translations and 
add the corresponding system locales packages to the generated 
application package as a "suggested" ones.
Cheers,
Toni
