I think John is right.

I also think you're right :-)

You are both talking about ways to modify the language used for
displaying UI. In the Unix word it's mostly based on LANG or LC_*
variables.

In Windows and OSX it's done via some gadget in the UI.

Since you use qt, which should obey the settings of the running
OS, may be, just may be, setting the right LC_ or LANG
environment variable may just work under windows.

Or you may just use the same variables to implement what you're
after for windows (qbzr should already respect these variables
under linux).
