It does not do the trick. When I do that, the setup program begins to speak french, but it does not change the interface. > The French language (and all other languages) are already part of the source > package - they just need enabling by modifying the --use-lang paramter > option to configure.

Is it even possible to split the language support in several packages, or does the monster change its library depending on the --use-lang flags passed at compilation ? > > Ok, I'll do that.
