 Replying to [ticket:879 antoniorocha]:

 > Instead of changing GRASS language in init.bat files (or other), the
 user would change its language without quitting GRASS session.

 Is there some reason why GRASS shouldn't just use the same locale settings
 as every other application?

 Currently, this doesn't work on Windows, as localisation relies upon the
 LANG/LC_* environment variables being set, and Windows doesn't set those,
 so init.bat needs the fix proposed [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/
 grass-dev/2010-January/048065.html here] or something similar.

 This should probably be closed as "invalid" once someone opens a bug
 report for LANG not being set on Windows.
