 Some time ago, I was experimenting with LyX and found a hint about how to
 change the whole GUI language, including the documentation, by adding two
 lines to a deeply buried file including fr or ru, depending on what
 language in which you wanted to see the interface.
 
 I thought I had saved the advice page well indexed, but it seems I have lost
 it. 
 
 I know that I can access the foreign documentation within LyX's package, but
 it would be much better to have the original hint on hand.  Somehow, it is
 possible, by adding two short lines, somewhere, to flip LyX into a different
 given language.
 
 If anyone has used this trick and can advise me on a URL of simply remind me
 which lines I have to add where, I would be very grateful.

With LyX/Mac, you can change the GUI language from the system default
by inserting the lines

keyLANG/key
stringfr/string

between the dict and /dict of ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.
Substitute the two-character abbreviation of the langauge you want for
fr.  You will have to log out and log in again for the change to
take effect.
