These three sections from the GNU gettext FAQ explain how to debug this: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#integrating_noop https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#windows_howto https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#windows_setenv Start with the third one. > >> Looking into the source code I don't see that we are disabling > >> gettext support on Windows.

If someone sets these environment variables, for example 'LANG', it should have an effect on the strings returned by gettext(). But that is not the usual, common case. The usual case is that the user does not set these environment variables, but instead uses the Windows control panel to define the preferred "regional settings". This should have an effect on the strings returned by gettext() as well. > within `cmd.exe` There, you need also to consider https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Working-in-a-Windows-console.html Bruno

Well, I read nothing in the documentation of 'gettext' that those variables are ignored on Windows. Bruno, can you comment and/or have a look, please? A Windows package of LilyPond (which can be installed in any directory) is available at https://lilypond.org/development.html > Have you tried changing the language of the whole system? No, I didn't, and I don't want to. I'm just following the instructions in the Usage Manual https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/usage/environment-variables to check whether they are valid for Windows, too. Werner
