Hi Alex,

The solution I found for Win32 is the following:
Glib::setenv("LANGUAGE", m_locale, true);
Glib::setenv("LANG", m_locale, true);
Glib::setenv("LC_ALL", m_locale, true);
Glib::setenv("LC_MESSAGES", m_locale, true);
where std::string m_locale is the locale.

See all details in method
Sudokukimm::reinit_window()
in my project Sudokuki, in this file:
src/gtkmm/sudokukimm.cc

Hope this helps.
Sylvain.
