I can see that this would work, as does Ed's approach too, but they are
a per application approaches and not a setting which sets all Dabo
applications to the same language - including all the Dabo IDE and demo's.
I am more looking for something which e.g. uses the
dabo.settings.defaultLanguage value. Currently this would need a change
in dLocalize.py which currently gives preference to the Python default
locale over the Dabo default.
