what is also interesting is a language detection. In the Tcl/Tk GUI it works
fine, but in the wxPython GUI only partially. Without modifying the
environment variable (set LC_ALL=cs_CZ) all the menus are in English, but
several strings in dialogs are in OS language (czech in my case) so some
detection mechanism seems to be built-in. If above mentioned variable is
set, not only complete menu system is localized but also another strings
from dialogs, as can be seen in enclosed images. These additional strings
are encoded properly...
