Yes. On Windows gettext does recognise the nationality itself without 
setting any environment variable. I guess it reads it from global settings. 
With e.g. a batch file it's possible to have a different language:

@echo off
set LANG=it_IT
gnubg.exe

On a German Windows without anything gives the German translation. Setting 
LANG before gives Italian.

On the long run I'm not that fond of the batch file, though. I'd prefer a 
notebook page under options for this (under Windows), as this would be the 
normal behaviour on Windows. But for now a batch file is certainly enough.
