That's okay, but the lack of selecting the languagae manually e.g. during install is a serious shortcoming. You see, the accelerator keys in native language are horrible. All my programs, including Windows, is English. The Time, Keyboard etc. need naturally to be in Native Language for the operating system due to monetary, clock time etc. > So you might want to check your Windows language/locale settings.

(There also exists a slightly more complicated approach whereby you set the locale variable on the command line.) ./dia --help-all | grep -i lang The FAQ or above output doesn't mention what option should be used. Does dia understand LC_ALL even in Windows?
