The official PSPP docs say:
https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/faq.html#Language
I asked ChatGPT how to apply this to Windows 10 and here's what it
said. Obviously, this may not be correct/fully correct.

To configure the PSPP interface language on Windows 10, follow
these steps:
1. **Open the Control Panel:**
- Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.
- Type `control` and press Enter.
2. **Change the Region and Language Settings:**
- Go to **Clock and Region**.
- Click on **Region**.
- In the **Formats** tab, click on **Additional settings** if
needed to access more detailed settings.
- Switch to the **Administrative** tab and click on **Change
system locale**.
- Select the desired language (e.g., Portuguese). Click OK and
restart your computer if prompted.
3. **Verify the Environment Variable:**
- Open **File Explorer** and right-click on **This PC**, then
select **Properties**.
- Click on **Advanced system settings**.
- In the System Properties window, go to the **Advanced** tab
and click on **Environment Variables**.
- In the Environment Variables window, check if there is a
variable named `LANG`. If not, click **New** under the System
variables section.
- Set the variable name to `LANG` and the value to `pt_PT` (for
Portuguese spoken in Portugal) or `pt_BR` (for Brazilian
Portuguese). Click OK to save.
4. **Restart PSPP:**
- Close PSPP if it is open and then restart it. The interface
should now display in the selected language.
This should configure PSPP to display in the language you have set
in the Windows environment.

This is advice about a Linux-oriented software package. What
advice should I give Windows 10 users?
##
How do I configure the PSPP interface language?
PSPP respects the locale of the environment. So if, for example,
your operating system (or the currently logged in user) is set to
Portuguese, then that is what PSPP will display.
How you change the environment's locale depends on the operating
system. For example, on GNU or on GNU/Linux you could use the
command export LANG=pt_PT (for Portuguese spoken in Portugal) or
export LANG=pt_BR for Brazillian Portuguese. This should also work
for all operating systems which are POSIX compliant. For others,
you will have to refer to your OS documentation.
Does this work for you?

If not, reply to this note and let us know what happens. PSPP builds on Linux, so the devs have limited Windows access/experience.
