I can run the app GRAMPS in danish by typing into the command line:

$ LANG=da_DK.utf8 LANGUAGE=da_DK.utf8 python gramps-2.1.7/src/gramps.py

Where the structure is:

$ LANG=[languagecode_countrycode].utf8
LANGUAGE=[languagecode_countrycode].utf8 [I think this is optional]
[path to the executable]

I do not know how to make menu entries for this but it can be done. Can
someone help us a bit more?
