Use LC_ALL instead of LANG if you want to be 100% sure, but this can be
undesirable... For example if you want to start application with english
GUI, but have german sorting and dates, use "LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 your_app"

Yes, it has. My use case is: running the GUI with my native language and
when I need to start an application with English language. So the way
would be just as described: switch global language settings and
thereafter start the application, switch back and I would have a running
german language GUI with one application with English language.
I was thinking of a quicker, one command way to switch global language
settings. Now dcopserver comes to mind, too, but I haven't investigated
the possibilities yet.
is there a way to switch language setting for the
GUI directly, i.e.
not by clicking through TDE-Menu -> Trinity Control Center ->
Regional & Access. -> Country/Region & Language -> Language List ->
Move Up to have a particular program start with a different language?
Something like TDE Keyboard Tool in Systray? Or via an command line
option?
I do not think that application will reread somehow the settings -
usually application has to be restarted. I was thinking if you start app with the language
variable set, it would
work, but I just tested and it does not
Ok, didn't think of that one. Maybe it's possible to work that out.
