That's interesting. I was going to suggest that it would probably be
technically possible to translate between Windows language codes and
gettext locale IDs if LANG wasn't set, but this suggests that
something
is already doing that for at least one language.
I was surprised by Jordi's statement. 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.
Now, i remember that I uninstalled the Catalan Language Pack. It
gave me problems with other programs...
So, you get a correct localization when you run Freeciv on windows
in the major supported languages (provided that you install the required
locale), and you get an English localization when you run Freeciv in a
Windows with a Language Pack... ;-)
Really, the language support of Windows is a mess...
