It is different, please try it out. If you have all translations installed LyX will display the labels suing the language of that particular part of the document, not the language of the GUI (but IIRC there is a ticket claiming that it does not always work on windows). This fits very well with WYSIWYM: The language of a particular text is not formatting related, but an important semantic property, so it should be visible on screen. > What I do expect though, is that the final output generated by LaTeX > should be the same regardless of whether I'm using the English or German > or Greek version of LyX.

There is consensus abourt that, see e.g. the part of my message that you snipped. Georg
