I would strongly oppose to that in linux.
Me too.
The idea is to allow the user to choose the language via the settings if
he _choose_ to do so.
You and Lars and all users that do not need this feature can simply
ignore it.
Where is this setting in word? In firefox?
Yes and many others. Most free programs with internationalisation allows
to do this on Wondows.
99% of the users to _not_
ever need to change this setting. You set the language at install time
and you are done with it.
This is not true. I for one like the interface of all my software to be
in English. But I often switch the language of my Firefox or my LyX to
French in order to explain something to someone.
The one example that Abdel gave is for
translators. To be more precise, it would be for translators that
translate in more that one language :)
And this is also good to people like me who share his computer with
other people sometimes. I don't want to edit a batch file or launch a
console to do this.
I really do not think we need to add lyxrc entries for each and every
feature that might be useful to someone.
This one is really useful to a lot of people on Windows.
