Re: How to create a simple multilingual GUI

["John Zoidberg" <zohn joidberg gmail com>]

Well, it's possible to change the language in Firefox and in a lot of other
programs.
I don't mind having to restart the program to do it.
I just don't want to have to change the system's local language to do it.

I know that gettext is mostly used for internationalisation. However, I have
problems creating a program with it where I choose the language in the
program, independently of the system settings.

If somebody knows how to do this, I would be really grateful for a simple
example program, even if it's only command-line and without a GUI.
In the meanwhile, I began looking at the source code of tuxtyping, where
changing the language at runtime is possible.
But having a clear simple source code for something like that really makes
it easier.
