I have already successfully forgotten why exactly I did it this way. Even though I for instance prefer English everywhere, this change won't impact me because I have it set up globally in settings and Geany will respect that. So I'll just make it the other way round - using locale will be default and if someone wants to ignore locale, he'll have to create ~/.config/geany/ignore_locale. Cheers, Jiri
