How to force Gambas to use a specific language?

 

Hi all,

I wanted to test a translation file in Hebrew, because it is a right
to left (RTL) language and I want to see if everything works OK with
RTL.
I found the following post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/gambas-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg03134.html
Same as http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=39705.81.245.220.223.1236591215.squirrel%40webmail.priorweb.be

According to this post, it should be possible to force Gambas to start
with a specific language, but I have not been able to do it myself.
How do you pass this language argument? (everything I try results in
Gambas telling me that I am not passing a valid project...)

So I also tried using
System.Language = "de_DE"

But then I receive an error message telling me that the locale is not
installed (sorry, I'm not at my devel computer so can't give you the
exact error message)

Anyway, how can I force Gambas to use Hebrew? I don't want to install
all the localization files just to test this out! (and according to
the previous message, that's exactly what was in mind: "It is a little
bit more comfortable than to multi-boot Linux systems with other
languages installed, just to check the languages as developer...")

Thanks,
Emilien Klein.
