Ah, actually I was wrong about Linux. I tested by setting LANG in the environment and there wasn't a problem, but if I use gretl's built-in language selection mechanism I get the same wrong behavior that I saw on Windows. However, if the problem is not Windows-specific it should be easier to solve.
