It was some time ago, but I had to set the LANG variable to get Freeciv in Catalan, and I have Windows in Spanish with a Catalan Language Interface Pack. Probably close to what Jordi has.
I also had a user contacting me because he couldn't do it, following the instructions in the FAQ. I have since improved the Catalan FAQ. The thing is that we are doing nothing special for Windows. We expect the LANG variable to be set and that's it. This just works in Linux, but is beyond the average user's capabilities in Windows. I would like a language menu, with the non-installed languages grayed out. Joan
