Yes, tons of as I'm on Windows :) > On what operating system do you use them? > See above > > Do they all offer a manual language override, so that you can set a > particular application's language independently of your personal "global" > language setting? > The only ones I can think to supporting multiple languages without a GUI option to set it are... command line based coming from Linux world (like mercurial) and here I do use the environment variable. But it's more painful for a lazy guy and not a common use case for a standard Windows user I think.

For the common Windows user, it might be a bigger loss. Pascal.
