Re[2]: Force english locale on Win32

[Саша Иваненко <kitovyj mail ru>]

Thank you for yours help, guys.

The solution proposed by Sylvain worked for me:

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.

Thanks again!
