1. probably such an option should be buried into the new option dialog
   and not so visible as a second class menu entry as it is now;

2. some dialog buttons insist on following the LANGUAGE environment var
   content regardless of the language option setting. As I said earlier
   changing the language shold set the LANGUAGE env var and that var
   should be available in the environmente before starting KiCad to make
   its dialog language consistent.
