Re: running a program with a different language than the current locale

Well, I tried using pt, pt_BR, and pt_BR.UTF-8, and none of them show
the translated interface.  When I just set pt or pt_BR, I get a whole
bunch of commandline gtk warnings about invalid locales names, but not
with pt_BR.UTF-8, but even so, the translation doesn't get used.
