[GRASS-user] Changing language in GRASS Interface/GUI

GRASS GRASS user
1

Greetings

I would like to know if it's possible to have a script/function GRASS interface in order to change language. Instead of being set in the init.bat, the user would set in the GUI interface (e.g. Wxpython GUI File>Change Language)?

Thanks

Best regards,
Antonio Rocha

I would appreciate to have this possibility.

Please file an enhancement request in trac for this.

I would suggest to put it in Config->GRASS working environment->

I suppose it would have to be a g.gisenv GRASS variable not an
environment variable to work system-wide. But then we've have to
add some G_getenv() -> setenv() magic in G_parser() and the start
of wxgui.py?

AFAIK it would be ideal to read the "LANG" environment variable
and set wx.locale() from that. Perhaps trigger a wxGUI reload
then or tell the user to close/restart the wxGUI to take effect.
Like this switching would be easy.
