After copying the folder 'locale' to my lyx-tree, I get german menues when starting LyX (I use a german Windows). But I want to switch the locale from time to time. Ruurd wrote on his site: "eg for german set the following environment variable: LANG=de_DE" So it must be possible to set another locale somewhere. I just don't know where.

All you ever needed to know about setting environment variables, both on unix and on win32.
Ain't google amazing. The second entry in a search on "setting environment variable Win32".
Thanks a lot Angus. It was new for me that I have to introduce a new variable. If the variable LANG is not defined, LyXWin uses automatically the Windows-system locale.
Now it works perfectly.
