FYI, I implemented just that before 1.5.0 and part of the code is still
there commented out. Unfortunately, it was rejected then for the very
same reason as now. I too think this option would be useful. One use
case I can think of besides the other you already cited:
I mainly use LyX in English so I am not really interested in the French
UI. But sometimes my daughter comes to me to teach her to write some
words, so I open a new French instance :-)
No need to say that I'd prefer to just switch the language only of the
current instance. The fact that no other application do that is probably
because they can't. With LyX, we can do it, so why not?
I fully agree. Reading the previous posts I think nobody is really
opposed to this feature right now. Experienced Linux users who know
about environment variables and language codes may not need it, but for
everyone else it's a good thing. Can we vote about this again? Any
reasons not to uncomment Abdel's work?
