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?
No objections?
