Aaah, so it's export LANGUAGE=... - I was unsuccessfully struggling with export LANG=... before.
Yeah, will be useful for checking out translations without switching the entire system to the given lang.

Thanks L18L &

Even an export is not really needed

If you have polish langpack try just
Code:
LANGUAGE=en geany

LANGUAGE does not need a locale being set.
LANGUAGE can be a list, ex: LANGUAGE=pl:de_AT:ru

Glad you like it

Code:
version=0.6 #140419 use desktop icon for switching to each language with "locale"


Change desktop language by one single click.
No more special language menu in jwm menu or jwm tray.

desktop icon from languageicon.org

See image (glued by rcrsn51's peasyglue)

icon at bottom right side of screen with name of language

right click gives choice for other languages (which need their locale and xwin.mo) ,
My example: English Deutsch and Slovenc.... for direct change
and ? for menu

Single click on desktop lets you switch between languages....

pet version 0.6 at post 1.

Have fun
