That's okay, but the lack of selecting the languagae manually e.g.
during install is a serious shortcoming. You see, the accelerator keys
in native language are horrible.

All my programs, including Windows, is English. The Time, Keyboard etc.
need naturally to be in Native Language for the operating system due to
monetary, clock time etc.

The FAQ mentions:

    If the language you want is English the easiest approach is to move or
    remove the language files (.mo) and allow the default English to show
    through instead. (There also exists a slightly more complicated approach
    whereby you set the locale variable on the command line.)

./dia --help-all | grep -i lang

The FAQ or above output doesn't mention what option should be used.
Does dia understand LC_ALL even in Windows?

Please advice,
