Yep, this could be an entry in FAQ or Manual.
Something like "How to change Geany's UI language from OS default?". This would
cover both Windows and Linux/Unix-like systems. BTW, in case of Linux the
approach is similar: Set the language env variable prior to launching Geany
(could be LANG, LANGUAGE). For example, under Ubuntu:
LANGUAGE=en geany
This could be added to launcher (.desktop) file `Exec` line too.
In general, indeed this _is_ a special case, since the whole UI aspect is
usually driven by OS and meant to be transparent to user. It's just some
Windows-targetting programs, especially free editors and tools, had this sort
of UI language menu, thus setting up some user expectations about selectively
changing language for a given program. Can one do this with MS Office or
Visual Studio? .... Nope, not without some workarounds. Of course, Geany is not
localized to the same extent, but the approach is the same.
By the way, I faced this question when trying to test my updates to Geany's
Ukrainian localization on a system set to English locale, otherwise it had
quite a few missing strings.
