    Hi guys,

    Right now it seems that we call the GetLocale win32 API function to get the
    user's locale. As far as I know, under win32 the locale selection is done
    automatically based on this Windows call.

    This is a problem for locales that we support that Windows does not support,
    because you really cannot activate them. For example, we support Esperato, but
    since Windows does not have locale you are unable to activate the Esperanto
    translation of Abiword.

    Am I correct? If this is correct, we should have an option in the Preferences
    that allows the user to overwrite the default Windows locale and select from
    the list of ours.

    Thanks,
