Your description is incorrect.

Many [windows] programs and many other TortoiseXXX tools allow the user to choose
in what language he/she wants to see the interface messages. In most cases
this option uses default system/user settings, but sometimes it's desirable
to have the way to override it.

I don't say the *bzr* itself as console program should support it.
I talk about GUI tools. I talk about sharing the same option between many GUI
tools. Maybe I'm wrong here. I dunno.

No, there should be only one. gui_lang seems fine.

Too much negative constructs for 2 sentences. I've lost here.
Of course nobody will think I want to do it if I don't do it in the end.
That's right? ;-)

But if bzr-gtk/TBZr does not interested in such option there is no
object for discussion at all.
