[Bf-committers] [Soc-2011-dev] Final Report - Garlic Branch

The situation that we must execute a "set LANG=ko_KR" is exactly the one
described here[1]<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#windows_setenv>
.
I followed the steps but still no improvement:

- using -MD when compiling blenlib, where _putenv() is called.
- using SetEnvironmentVariableA, but actually Win7 hasn't this API.

Maybe you can give it a try in case I miss something.

> By fine I mean, you need to set LANG before running Blender and that's it.
> The option in the User Preferences panel is always ignored.

> :>blender.exe
> : ndof: dead zone (...)
> : set LANG=ko_KR
