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

[Dalai Felinto]

I think we are in the right track here. After applying this patch [1] I can
change languages without the console error.
The only problem now is that the interface does not change (even though I
set to translate buttons, tooltip and the other one -- in the outliner).

Some languages (i.e. Arabic) are not in the Microsoft list. I'm afraid that
for them we may need to change local in the computer.

Chinese, Japanese and Korean), following this:
