I did not demand to change the language while running the program. You do a good work and have to concentrate on non-luxury , I' say.

I now found a simple way to solve the language question for  a user who needs English als GUI language : I deleted the local subfolder and restarted. That's it.

Thank you for your exchange.

It's a good idea for PSPP to be able to change its language at
runtime, but it currently doesn't support that.

Following Alan's idea I tried ChatGPT and got the remarkable answer:

1. Open PSPP on your computer.
   2. Go to the “Options” or “Settings” menu.
   3. Look for the language or localization option.
   4. Select the language you want to use in the interface.
   5. Save the changes and restart PSPP for the changes to take effect.

There is no language /localisation setting in PSPP Options. I use PSPP
2.0.0-g4c33fd

It's definitely possible on GNU/Linux to have every program in a
different language. It should be possible on Windows as well if you
can set environment variables differently for each program.

I think this is impossible, the program takes the system language

Hi,

Do i understand well that this would change the interface language for all 
Windows programs ?

I work with Windows 11 OS in French and want to work with PSPP in English.

How to make that I get only PSPP in English , and not changing the entire  OS 
interface language?

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?

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users/2014-09/msg00011.html

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